The Chinese violet garden was welcoming a special guest of extraordinary beauty. The guest was a lemon butterfly, or Papilio demoleus in Latin. It's a medium-sized and striking butterfly from the Papilionidae family. The butterfly appeared to be resting, sitting sweetly on the top of a Chinese violet plant.
Its wings were constantly flapping, revealing beautiful patterns on both wings. Golden yellow blended beautifully with brownish black. At the tips of its wings were bright orange spots that resembled burning flames. It was a truly beautiful combination of colors, like a twilight sky embracing the night. Calm and full of elegance.
It flapped its wings gently, unhurriedly, as if it knew that every moment amidst the flowers and lush foliage was a precious gift to be celebrated. As I tried to observe it with a sincere heart and a calm soul, the butterfly seemed like a dream tucked away in the real world.
