The Science of the Butterfly

Ah the beauty and grace of the Lepidoptera, or more specifically, the Australian Painted Lady Butterfly. It seems that this particular one has migrated too far south and can’t find his way back to its group. I wonder why this is. A western wind must have pushed it this way. Poor thing. He won’t find a mate here; it’s much too cold. It’s marking’s are beautiful though, if I do say so myself. With its dark brown tips and it’s four almost perfect circular spots lining its dorsal hind wings. Exquisite.
