Neptis hylas

Hello everyone good afternoon.....

Today I again found a beautiful butterfly perched on a green leaf. When talking about butterfly, you will immediately think of an insect whose wings are colorful and whose flying movements are very graceful. However, it is also necessary to understand that butterfly are one of the insects that are not only visually stunning. However, butterfly are also very useful in the ecosystem. Butterfly will help pollinate flowers. This insect is truly extraordinary.

The butterfly that I met has a very unique wing pattern and stands out with a very beautiful color combination, namely brown and white. The basic color of this butterfly is brown which is decorated with white dots that blend together. The pattern in the form of dots succeeds in making the appearance of these butterflies look elegant, both when they stop somewhere and when they fly.

There are two possibilities for what the butterfly I found was doing, resting or sunbathing. Because I saw that his body was exposed to sunlight. While resting, maybe he wants to take advantage of the sunlight to add energy to his limbs before he goes to visit the colorful flowering garden.

This butterfly was so wild, it didn't want me to approach it any closer. When I was about to take a step to approach him closer, he immediately flew away. Luckily I had photographed it from a little distance away.
