Butterflies and enlightenment

In the fleeting life of the Copper Butterfly the female has sex only once. After this she simply folds her wings when a hopeful male is looking to mate. Does this mean she has gained enlightenment and is ready to return to the source? What does this tell us? That life is only lived in the moment and although we have more moments life is short. There is a quote from The Dalai Lama ( look it up ) that human life is precious and not to be wasted. Enlightenment is available in the continuous present even if most of us only have glimpses as fleeting as the sex life of a Copper Butterfly.
