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
It works this way
Precipitation of salt lowers body temperature
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
An inconspicuous stone
Attracts a flock of spotted butterflies to gather
Salts and minerals on stones
It is the nutrients that their bodies need

Larvae nibble on leaves to store energy
Find the right place to pupate
When the time comes
Break out of the cocoon and successfully transform the butterfly
The miracle of life that has been dancing ever since
