In the place where I live there exist a beautiful ecosystem mined with all kind of trees, flowers, insects, birds, fruit trees and pest too. In front of my house I have a granate tree and a fig tree too, all surrounded by flowers. My small ecosystem in the middle of the mountins and vegetation is an attraction to all kind of birds and butterflies.
I have been chasing butterflies for about a month and It was so difficult to take a good picture of them. Someone taught me that "To search for happiness is like to search butterflies, it always scape from you, but one day you will have it, butterflies easily come and stand on your shoulders.
Last night my son called me and sarcastically said that in front of my house he found what I was looking for. This beautiful butterfly was hanging from one of my fig tree's leaves. There it was like if it was dead, but it wasn't. I have been running behind all kind of beautiful butterflies but I couldn't take a photo, they were faster than me. It didn't move may be because she was sleeping, I don't know much about them.
I only know that they help to keep balance in nature pollinating, so that we keep having trees and all kind of plantas. When we see a caterpillar we don't like it much, but when we see butterflies we feel emotions may be because inside us we know that they are going to keep alive our ecosystem.
This morning I found the butterfly on my isora's flowers, and I think they like it a lot because it is the plant where they always come. I took all the pictures I could before it flew. I think it was too tired and was having a rest.
In Venezuela we have all kind of Monarch' s butterflies. One of my sons told me that in the botanical museum they have a show room of them. These butterflies emigrate from North America to South America, and wherever they go they look for larval host plants and leaves the eggs for more butterflies to be born.
All the photos were taken with my Samsung A5
