I am very fond of butterflies and some of the most common I see are the Grass Yellow butterflies (there is more than one species but I'll just use a generic Grass Yellow to refer to them. I can't tell if they are speckled, common, or chocolate when they are in flight.). With them, I would often come across another larger, lighter yellow butterfly, the Lemon Emigrant.
This is flighty butterfly. I have rarely seen it land and, despite my efforts, I had never been able to take a picture of it. It's impossible to take in flight and, whenever it does land, it always flies off again before I can take a picture. I almost expect it to fly off the moment I take out my phone.
Until today.
Yes! At long last, today at my workplace's rooftop garden, a Lemon Emigrant landed near me repeatedly and stayed still. I managed to take not just one but several pictures! This is the best among them.
I am so happy. At last! I finally managed to take a picture of a Lemon Emigrant! I did it!
And I came across some other things too.
Here's a yellow vented bulbul...
and a randomly large mushroom I found.
Some days are just filled with delightful surprises.
