Tiny grass blue butterfly

in Nature Observer20 days ago

While walking through the park, I was stopped in my tracks by something barely visible. It was a tiny grass blue butterfly, perched peacefully on a green leaf. The butterfly was very simple, its color inconspicuous, and its size very small. It was precisely this simplicity that captivated me this morning.

I slowly approached the butterfly, cautiously. When my phone got too close, its antennae suddenly. It seemed to be signaling me not to get too close. After I moved my phone away a bit, it returned to its original state. Calm and peaceful, without moving an inch, including its antennae.

At first glance, this butterfly appears very simple. However, if you take a moment and examine it closely, its coloration is stunning. Its entire body is a silvery gray, adorned with evenly distributed dark dots. On the edges of its wings are fine, curved lines that follow the shape of its wings. It is as beautiful as a painting painted directly by a natural artist, filled with love and tenderness.

Not only that, but the pair of antennae are equally beautiful. They curve gracefully. If you look closely, they resemble a discus hitting tool. Very beautiful, the pose of the antennae also looks as if they are ready to dance with the morning breeze. The appearance of her eyes also amazed me, like dark gems that hold a million stories. Those beautiful eyes are used to see angles we never imagined.
