Today, my father and I sprayed the mango trees and other trees in front of our house with pesticide to help keep them healthy and protect them from various diseases and pests. After two hours had passed, I suddenly spotted a butterfly flying between a mango tree and a guava tree. While flying, this particular butterfly looked incredibly beautiful with its reddish-brown color, which made me curious to get closer to it.

Unfortunately, this butterfly appeared to be very weak, perhaps because it had been affected by the pesticide I sprayed two hours earlier. However, it was still alive and could still fly slowly. I immediately took advantage of the opportunity to photograph it, and now we can see its beauty quite clearly. This butterfly has a plain brown color, a somewhat rounded shape, and a thick body covered with numerous fine hairs. However, what caught my attention the most was its pair of red compound eyes, which made it look a little frightening. Its gaze was also very intense as it looked directly at me, but capturing its beauty was something I simply had to do.As I tried to photograph this butterfly with the help of my macro lens, it suddenly flew away and disappeared from my sight. Nevertheless, I was still satisfied with the few photos I had managed to capture.

Okay friends, now I will share some pictures of this butterfly here.
