Chasing butterflies down the trail

These butterflies were sunning themselves on the trail ahead of me today.  When I got close to one, it flew down the trail at about my walking speed looking for another place to sun itself.  It stayed on the trail.  It would not just fly off into the woods to get away from me.   It didn’t figure out it could fly behind me.   It just kept following the trail ahead of me.
