One look at these butterflies and it’s not hard to know how they got their name!
They really are a fascinating butterfly. I may have found them a bit dull because of the high number of them that hovered and landing all about. I suppose it’s only natural to focus on what may challenge us in our desire to conquer the more difficult task. I often found myself chasing after what I thought to be the less common butterflies.
Regardless, they deserve their own recognition as they indeed added great beauty to the landscape as they fluttered and posed.
I love them all. 💛
We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.
