A frame of the beautiful plains Cupid butterflies sleeping on the dried twig, in society’s garden. Every year, usually around April, we see an outburst of Plains cupid in the children’s play area, mostly as they flutter in to lay eggs on the Cycas plants(ornamental plants) that starts to grow its fresh batch of leaves. Usually, they do damage the new set of leaves, but eventually these bring in another set of fresh Plians Cupids that bring in some vibrance to the garden area. This particular one seemed to share one of the leaves to rest out the night.

You observed their behavior and that helps in photographing also. Nice to see them both perched on the twig. Good details and composition. Thanks for sharing the detailed information. Look forward to more.

Interesting. It is nice to see that you are able to click in the garden around you. Too often wildlife photographers ignore the space around them all the while longing for visiting exotic locations. The composition is fine. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
