Detailed explanation-1: -courtship, in animals, behaviour that results in mating and eventual reproduction. Courtship may be rather simple, involving a small number of chemical, visual, or auditory stimuli; or it may be a highly complex series of acts by two or more individuals, using several modes of communication.
Detailed explanation-2: -Luring with Smells Many male and female animals produce smelly chemicals called pheromones. The smells are meant to tell partners about their health, where they are located, and that they are ready to mate. Insects use pheromones a lot, and they can sense the chemicals with their antennae.
Detailed explanation-3: -To attract females, males may perform display behaviors or engage in physical combat with other males. These behaviors are called courtship behaviors. They get the attention of females and give the males a chance to show off their traits and abilities.
