Behind a wide leaf dancing blown by the morning wind, there was a pair of painted Jezebel butterfly making love. Even though their position at that time was among the lush leaves, it was as if nature was giving them space to be alone. But their hiding place was not perfect, they were both caught red-handed by my camera. My reliable cellphone became a silent witness to the bond of love from a pair of tiny hearts that were united in silence.
In Latin, this butterfly is known as Delias hyparete, which is one of the beautiful butterflies from the Pieridae family. For its habitat, this butterfly is the same as other butterflies in general, namely liking green environments. This butterfly is easier to find in colorful flower gardens. But when they make love, they prefer a place with dense leafy plants like the one I found.
