Unknowingly his end of days has arrived.
This beauty arrived to sit on a leaf of a Bottle Brush tree in a garden next door.
A happy Friday to all and we all have made it through, not only the week, but also through the end of the HardFork on #hive
There is a time to be born and a time to die for everybody and everything, so I will show you what I know in this post. It is however what we do between these two milestones that matters, as we could either live a life of happiness or a life of discontent.
In most instances the choice is ours.
So I stood outside our home and zoomed the butterfly in the garden next door.
The Butterfly is called, "The European Large White", or over here the, "Cabbage White" (Pieris brassicae) and it is an invasive species.
It looked a bit battered here with the damage at the bottom of its right wing.
We have had severe storms and winds here for the past weeks and the lady of the house called me into her garden to show me this branch that the wind has ripped off a tree in her garden.
This is a strong young branch and you can imagine the force of the wind that we had last night.
Look what I found on my way out of her garden. This one sat on the paving at the front door of her house.
I gently picked it up and placed the butterfly in her hand.
We looked for damages in the wings, but found none.
This butterfly is classified as a pest, as they damage farmer's crops.

The large white butterfly's habitat consists of large, open spaces, as well as farms and vegetable gardens, because of the availability of its food source. Some favoured locations include walls, fences, tree trunks, and often their food plant. They primarily hover around these locations, which should contain both wild and cultivated crucifer, as well as oil-seed rape, cabbages, and Brussels sprouts

So the lady took the butterfly and placed it on a flower in the dry area of her back sunroom. Although there's no sun today there will be tomorrow and if the butterfly survives overnight, it might make it.
However I have seen this before and this butterfly's chances are slim.
And That's All Friends!
