Indian Cupid butterfly
In a small, often overlooked corner, an Indian Cupid butterfly rested quietly on a white flower. I slowly approached the butterfly's nest and found it enjoying the delicious treat the flower had provided. It enjoyed itself very leisurely, seemingly unperturbed by my presence.
Its wings were tightly closed, displaying a beautiful color pattern, a soft gray that resembled a gently descending morning mist. The delicate lines and tiny dots further enhanced its enchanting appearance, as if the lines and dots had been carved by nature with infinite patience. The two orange dots at the tips of its wings added to its allure.
The orange dots aren't just for beautifying its wings, but also to deceive predators, misdirecting their attacks toward its real head. Furthermore, near the false eyes, there's a small tail that further confirms the fact that it's actually the head.
