A lesser dart butterfly perched peacefully on a fresh, green leaf with distinct veins. The tiny butterfly's presence there was like an unexpected splash of color, strikingly beautiful and perfectly in harmony with its surroundings. Its wings were fully spread, revealing a unique pattern resembling a series of tiny waves or delicate carvings arranged in a meticulous manner. This unique pattern wasn't merely a decorative feature; it resembled a miniature work of art carved by nature. The details were immaculate, orderly, and natural. Nature's creations are truly the most perfect.

This lesser dart butterfly is one of the most active butterflies I've ever encountered. It also boasts a remarkably fast flight speed. When it flies, it flaps its wings so briefly that it appears as if they're not even flapping. Its flight pattern is also quite unique, a zigzag pattern. This is not the pattern found in other butterflies, especially larger ones. There's another interesting aspect about this butterfly: when it stops somewhere, it doesn't land immediately. However, it first flew around the intended destination several times. It was examining the area to ensure it was safe to stop.

Now, let's look at its wing position. The front wings were raised upward, while the rear wings were spread out to the sides. This wing position is quite interesting. When I looked closely, this butterfly resembled a fighter jet landing at an airport. Judging by its super-fast flight speed and this wing position, this butterfly indeed resembled a fighter jet.
