Hello friends #natureobserver good afternoon.....
Today I again met a butterfly whose color was very beautiful. The butterfly is called painted Jezebel or in Latin Delias hyparete. Pieridae is a family of these butterflies. The butterflies that I mean are certainly familiar to all of us. Because this butterfly is a species that is very easy to find, this species is everywhere.
The butterfly that I found was on green leaves, it was resting there. He likes to move from place to place, but lacks energy. Several times I tried to fly away but couldn't. I'm sure the butterfly's body temperature is very low, considering that sunlight hasn't appeared yet. The butterfly can only rest to survive until the sun shines again.
Here I felt lucky because the butterfly couldn't fly away when I approached it. Basically, this butterfly is easy to find, but difficult to capture. So, when you meet a moment like this, it feels extraordinary, like a child who gets his favorite toy.
In terms of habitat, this butterfly is the same as other butterflies in general. They like places where the environment is full of green plants and colorful flowers. One of the reasons butterflies love places like that is that in life they really need nectar. Nectar is their staple food. Well, nectar can only be found in flowers.
