Glass grey butterfly
This glass gray butterfly
Only 2 cm in size
I'm absorbing water on one side
One side drains the water droplets from the tail

Withstand the scorching heat of the sun
Big sophomore-tailed butterfly
Its unique siphon mouthpiece
Can help it suck
Nectar at the bottom of the flower tube
This beak that can be bent and extended
It is used to absorb water, not to mention
The tail of its hindwings is covered with fine fuzz
Staggered activity with sucking
Spotted butterflies
An inconspicuous stone
Attracts a flock of spotted butterflies to gather
Salts and minerals on stones
It is the nutrients that their bodies need
