Mesmerising: A lionness locks eyes on a butterfly floating peacefully around her head in Chobe National Park in Botswana

This took place at Chobe National Park in Botswana

While looking a little annoyed, the female lion appeared to be somewhat of a gentle giant as she allowed the butterfly to fly around her

The images were captured by photographer William Steel

Photographer William Steel said: 'The lion raised its head to investigate a passing herd of impala when suddenly, out of the blue, the bravest of butterflies began to fly directly at the lion's face in repeated aerial dive bombs'


This is the moment a daring butterfly risked the wrath of a lion when it flew dangerously close to the predator's head


Photographer William Steel said: 'I was thrilled. The sighting was spectacular and it is always a joy to have such a close sighting. This was simply the sweetest possible cherry on the cake'

Looking for a cheeky pit stop: The brightly coloured insect was spotted flying next to the lion and almost landing on the predator's head

Both of them beautiful in their own way

Mr Steel added: 'The lion simply glared in annoyance each time the defiant butterfly brushed past its face'
