I'm very fond of looking at butterflies flying from a flower to another and that's a way of pollination to transfer pollens to fertilize flowers. How about you? Have you seen butterflies?

Of course, I have seen many different kinds of butterflies. We had so many flowering plants in the province even in our office. They are very beautiful and colorful. I love to see them also flying from flower to flower. Yes, they are pollen carriers to pollinate flowers.

butterfly - a photo of butterfly on the plant.
Beauty on the wing.They are not only beautiful,but also useful.Some take pollen frome one flower to antother,which makes it possible for seeds to form.And they eat aphids,those tiny insects that destroy the tender leaves of garden plants.

I have seen various species of butterflies. They are very colorful and beautiful. They go from flower to flower. Most of the time, men are compared to butterflies going from flower to flower admiring their beauty. Sometimes, I am like also the butterfly. But up to now I have not found the beautiful flower I dream of.

LOL! This reminds me of my old days in the province when I was young. I loved to chase them, they're so beautiful. We had flower plants and colorful butterflies came as usual, perhaps for pollination. I was so excited and happy playing with butterflies. Butterflies sometimes are used as experiments in the grade schools and it's really fun to catch them.

Butterflies are really important in pollination. Bees also help. Without them, air is the main way to pollinate flowers. I like butterflies because they are so colorful and the fact that they came from ugly catterpillars makes them more beautiful. There's this belief in our society that a butterfly is the soul of a departed love ones. So if you happen to see one, your love one is looking at you and wants to be close to you. I don't really believe this thing but I said it just to share.

Yes I am too fond of looking at butterflies. I get inpiration from them, though they know they are to live few hours, they really enjoy every bit. When we touch them, they just fly. Literally 'butter' skin flies and by touching so, they give their colour to you. So much impact from a lovely creature. One of Creator's best creature.
