Jezebel's painted butterfly
On a beautiful, peaceful morning, the sun was shining brightly and a fresh breeze carried the scent of earth, just awakened from its long sleep last night. A beautiful butterfly appeared from behind the bushes, approaching a white flower standing proudly amidst the dense greenery.
I slowly approached its location. I noticed it was very sensitive to its surroundings. It nearly flew away as I approached. I took the picture from a bit further away. Shortly after I snapped the shot, it immediately moved on to a flower out of my reach.
The color combination of this butterfly was stunning: its white, black, yellow, and orange wings blended beautifully in one frame. Its body and eyes were bluish-gray. Its antennae were black, while its legs matched its body.
The butterfly I encountered was called a painted Jezebel, or Delias hyparete in Latin. This butterfly is a medium-sized butterfly from the Pieridae family. It favors colorful flower gardens and fresh, wild shrubs.
