I finally found the pose I'd been searching for. I'd been waiting for this Common lime butterfly to strike this pose for a long time. I'd spotted it several times before, but its wings were neatly closed. But today was different. I found it flapping its wings. Its flapping speed was so fast, it was difficult to focus. It offered a different kind of beauty and also tested my patience.
Look at its beautiful color, a jet black base combined with yellowish-white and orange spots, beautifully blending in one frame, creating a harmonious atmosphere. If you look closely, some of the yellowish-white spots resemble stars in the night sky, while others resemble irregular ribbons. The orange touches at the tips of its wings resemble embers, adding a vibrant touch to the black and yellowish-white combination.
Furthermore, its delicate antennae, with curved tips, are equally captivating, resembling a Wi-Fi pole. The antennae stand upright and motionless, as if they're actively capturing the signal around them. His long legs gripped tightly onto the leaf where he had stopped, adjusting to the super fast flapping of his wings.
