Butterflies in Love



As part of the 'kiasu game, I went in search of more butterflies in the garden and the hard disk.


Plain Tiger Butterflies dated on plain compost.


Common Grass Yellow Butterflies tied the knot beneath common Costus leaves.


Another pair of lovely Common Grass Yellow Butterflies preferred the mulberry leaves.


A pair of unidentified maroon moths at the lemon tree.


2 beautiful White Antennae Wasp Moth surround themselves with wild flowers during their first date.


As this couple became tattered, they hung around tattered leaves.


Since I cannot beat Andrea in the quantity of butterflies she captured in a single photo, I resorted to posting of butterflies in love.

Do you find bugs in love in your garden?

Kanak of Nature Rambles did.

Joyce of My Little Potted Garden is showing off GOLDEN pupae!
You got to check them out.
She even has the pupae in 4 different colours, all produced by Butterflies in Love.

Flowers in a Heart

What do caterpillars do apart from devouring our favourite plants?


Occasionally caterpillars create little masterpieces. The above is called Flowers in a Heart. A caterpillar munched a cabbage leaf to produce a heart-shaped hole. Tiny flowers from a herb plant bloomed right through the heart.







The artistic culprit has now transformed into a moth. Moths which usually drink nectar are important pollinators at night. However, they produce little hungry babies which have a totally different diet.

When you see holes in your favourite plant, remember to look out for messages from the caterpillars. Sometimes they leave behind messages of love and gratitude.
