There is a particular butterfly that was framed in my house. I couldn’t find it. Perhaps some of the family soul had seen and got it from the family house. Regardless, I am so fascinated by seeing it and the wings are too shiny with a spectrum of different colors while enclosed in the frame.
The most beautiful butterflies can be seen in South America and called “morpho helena.” The size is so huge as compared to other species of butterfly.
“Have you seen them?

@Shavkat Don't worry they will come when they find beautiful flowers in your garden.

@Shavkat they seem to be rare now in metro Manila, when I was a kid they would just fly inside our house in Manila, the black ones were considered a bad omen or a spirit visitor while the green and brown ones would bring money

No I have not seen them Shavkat, though I have seen other kinds of beautiful butterflies. They are such lovely creatures.

@TiarasOceanView Do you think they are endangered?

I haven't seen it, too. @louievill had reminded me that we have the most beautiful butterfly in the Philippines called "mariposa."

@Elisa1234 I think the lost butterfly framed in the house is a "mariposa."
