Alright, to clarify, this Pansy is a butterfly and one of the most beautiful butterflies I have ever had the pleasure of encountering. It is also uncomfortably skittish and the photo below took ages to take. As I recall, I was in a patch of green grass in one of the more populated areas in school when I saw this pansy. Naturally, I wasted no time in trying to take a picture of it but it was so flighty that I ended up chasing it. It flew here and flew there and so I followed it here and I followed it there. On reflection, I must have looked like a proper fool but honestly, I would do it again. The photo you see below is the work of patient and aggravating stalking of a butterfly that just won't stay still. Thanks to some help from a cleaner who was watching my efforts, I got close enough to take a picture. Note to self: Zoom cameras are a necessity for taking pictures of skittish butterflies.
Anyways, back to the Blue Pansy. This butterfly is of a good size. Not to small to be overlooked nor too big to be noticed immediately. It is an exceptionally beautiful butterfly and one of my personal favourites. While orange, red, white and yellow are common amongst butterflies, the male Blue Pansy has a deep blue colour. The females have a more neutral brown instead. It also possesses striking red eye spots which I suspect are made to resemble eyes. Personally, I think the blue and black colouration of the butterfly make a pleasant contrast.
