Common Mormon butterfly

in Nature Observer5 days ago

Hello dear friends, good afternoon......

Today, the Ashoka garden is again visited by a special guest whose appearance is very beautiful and elegant. She is a Common Mormon butterfly, which in Latin is known as Papilio polytes. I saw the butterfly enjoying a delicious breakfast provided by the Ashoka plant. The color of the butterfly is very beautiful, jet black with white spots. It looks as if she is wearing a luxurious evening gown.

Her wings never stop, they continue to move with very gentle movements, like a poet reading poetry through touch. Her presence on the flower is like a moment that is deliberately arranged by nature which is then presented exclusively. Beautiful pink flowers, a black butterfly with white spots and me as a lucky spectator. I was so busy enjoying every movement, I almost forgot to turn on the camera to capture the beautiful moment from her.
