Hello everyone, good afternoon wherever you are, how are you this afternoon? Hope you are fine wherever you are.

I am back here again and on this occasion I want to show you some beautiful shots of the common sailor butterfly, a beautiful butterfly that comes from the Nymphalidae family. The color of this butterfly is very beautiful, namely dark brown combined with white, an interesting color variation.

Actually, it's not just the color that's interesting about this butterfly, but the pattern on its two wings is much more prominent. The pattern is in the form of white dots that merge together, a characteristic that other butterflies do not have. This unique pattern succeeds in giving this butterfly an elegant appearance.

In terms of habitat, I think this butterfly is the same as other butterflies in general. Butterflies like open places such as parks, gardens, meadows, bushes and so on. In essence, butterflies like comfortable places to find food and to breed.

As I found, the butterfly was resting on one of the leaves in the garden. I see this place is safe for butterflies to rest, there are no predators. It seemed like he was very tired, as long as I was there the butterfly didn't move at all. Not a single member of his body moved. Really enjoy the break.
