Thanks alot for those links.......
NOT true with beautiful flowers... weeds come to crowd them out and idiot humans (like me) pull the weeds to protect the flowers.

Who says anything is beautiful? We do. It presents no problem to evolution because it’s not a real thing. Beauty is a subjective emotional interpretation of real things.
Courtship displays are not beauty . Those animals can afford those displays because they have survived the basics of existence and competitors, and their displays make them more attractive to mates, and thus more likely to pass on their genes. If those beautiful displays interfered with reproductive success, they would eventually fade away.
Arctic foxes, zebras and snow leopards are also beautiful, but the coats on those animals have little to do with courtship displays.
