I am the queen of beauty the common butterfly, I spread my wings and flap away among the trees I fly.
My wings exhibit colours of green yellow and blue, red, orange and brown and even purple too.
I live in many countries and lands of different rule, high up in the mountains or fields behind the school.
But I like the warmer weather which makes me feel alive, for in the mighty brutal winter I will never survive.
I feed on flower nectar and liquid from rotting fruit, or a sip of forest water with a taste of sugary root.
My Latin name is lepidoptera known to many kings, lepidos meaning the scales and ptera meaning the wings.
I hope to be remembered as I age and fade away, but my image in human minds is forever there to stay.
