Plain palm dart butterfly
Today I didn't venture far into nature, I wasn't feeling well, with a slight fever. I just went out to the front garden to get some fresh air and hope to see something to observe. My wish was granted, I saw someone sitting sweetly on a euphorbia flower petal. She seemed to be glancing at me.
I immediately told the little butterfly, "Don't run away. I just want to take a picture of you, not hurt you." I immediately turned on my phone camera and walked closer to the beautiful butterfly. When I got close, I said again, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." She seemed a little hesitant, continuing to stare at me. Her antennae continued to move, and occasionally her proboscis would also move.
Even though her gaze was constantly directed at me, the butterfly remained calmly standing there. Her charm was so graceful, look at the position of her wings, so beautiful and attractive. The hind wings were spread out to the sides, while the front wings were held gracefully upward. It was a beautiful pose I've never seen in a medium-sized or large butterfly.
The butterfly I encountered was called the plain palm dart, which is a small butterfly with super fast flight speed that comes from the Hesperiidae family.

That butterfly looks absolutely stunning. You also captured some incredibly detailed and perfect angles, and hopefully on my next hunt I'll find this brown butterfly.
Thank you buddy.
And the butterfly waited for you to photograph it the way you wanted. Bravo!
I hope your health improves soon! Try to drink plenty of fluids!
I can't drink a lot of fluids, my body can't handle it. I've done it before and I've dropped. Thanks, buddy.
Ugh... I'm sorry
