Dark small-branded swift butterfly
On a leaf swaying gently in the morning breeze, I spotted a beautiful butterfly resting peacefully. It was a dark small-branded swift, or Pelopidas mathias in Latin. This butterfly is small and unassuming.
Its coloration is subtle yet captivating. Its entire body is brown, adorned with a few brownish-white spots on its wings. This butterfly has a plump body and thick feathers. Look at its thick feathers, resembling someone wearing a winter jacket. Its feathers are soft and silky, very adorable, but unfortunately, it wouldn't let me touch it.
Its eyes remained fixed on me, while its fine, flexible antennae moved slowly. It was as if it were inviting me to chat. Its movements were as gentle as the cool, soothing breeze. Perhaps it was asking me if it was time to change poses. I saw that after it moved its antennae, it immediately opened its wings carefully. Maybe he realized that I was capturing a beautiful moment from him, so he tried to create the most beautiful moment possible for me.
