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.

A wonderful tribute to a beautiful animal. I love butterflies. Here I see one with a 66 on its wings, another as big as a a large salad plate and my favorite the iridescent blue. Nicely done
Yes they are beautiful creatures.
Thank you for your support my friend.
Love it
Thank you Tony.
You're welcome
Dear Saleh. I love butterflies too and though they have been scarce in my garden this year, we are beginning to see more of them. They are an absolute delight, as is your beautiful poem. They have a spiritual meaning for me. So delicate and pleasing to see.
