 Lime Butterfly, Lentor Plain house lime plant. 16 Oct 2023, 1 pm

Searching for a lime leaf to lay eggs. Canon R5, TV, ISO 500, 1/1600 sec, f/4.5, 105mm.  

This lime butterfly has her right hind wing torn away earlier. But she positions herself such that my photo looks good as if she has complete left and right wings! She is looking for a leaf to lay her eggs. My Chinese New Year lime plant is still around - maybe she is checking the leaves in the neighbourhood first, before laying eggs.

Connection with Nature is good for mental wellness. Nature sometimes show you the beauty of creations, in this case, the lime butterfly visited me and let me photograph her good undamaged left wings, with the torn right hind wing hidden. I rushed to get the camera. She was present for 2 to 3 flights and then disappeared.  I took a series of shots and got 2 good ones.
