The incident that drove me dizzy with happiness (butterfly eggs)

The mother

I call this incident "butterfly eggs". Sure, it sounds like no big deal but if you had been interested in butterflies since you were eight and only managed to see their eggs ten years later, you would get pretty excited. I was spending lunch in the 'quiet place' in my old junior college. It is a nice peaceful place. Lots of grass, some trees, plenty of wild flowers, birds and butterflies and that day was no different.

I was walking along the wall of my JC when I noticed a Tawny Coaster butterfly perched awkwardly o a leaf. On closer inspection, I saw that its abdomen was bent towards the leaf and I knew that it must be laying eggs. I took several pictures but the light was all wrong and I didn't dare get too close. Consequently, my pictures were blur and... well, not great. However, when the butterfly left, I managed to get a fairly decent shot of the eggs. I was ecstatic. Not only had I seen actual butterfly eggs but I had seen freshly laid ones! I even knew which species they belonged too! It sent me over the moon and I think my friends thought I had gone a little nuts. But I didn't care. I had finally seen butterfly eggs! :)
