Among the beautiful blooming flowers, I found a great eggfly butterfly enjoying a delicious breakfast provided by the euphorbia plant. I saw the butterfly really enjoying its breakfast, its wings spread wide and without moving at all. As if it also wanted to show off its beauty born from the wonders of nature to the world.
The great eggfly butterfly that I found was jet black decorated with white spots with neat characteristics on both wings. The combination of contrasting colors made the butterfly appear gracefully and with simple splendor among the blooming flowers and fresh green leaves around it.
Actually, the black color combined with white is not only for the beauty of its appearance. However, the color is to protect itself from enemies. In my opinion, this color makes it easier for the butterfly to blend in with the shadows of the leaves. The black color is the shadow and the white color is the sunlight that manages to penetrate the leaves.
