Butterfly Visits 2010

Throughout the year, I was blessed with butterflies in my garden. The Indian Monarch loves the milkweeds.

Can you spot how many butterflies are feasting on this fallen mango ? This was in last summer.
The Common Crow is a frequent visitor.


The Huge Blue Mormon visited my garden at least once every month.



This yellow butterfly was snapped in the Lalbaug garden. Besides these, there were the Jays, the Eggflies, the Blue Tigers, the Common Leopards and other innumerable and unknown (to me) butterflies which visitedmy garden and thrived there. I am grateful for the opportunity of seeing them and enjoying their beauty through the year.
I am looking forward to more butterfly visits in the coming year.

  6. These butterflies are gorgeous but I admit that I'm fascinated at the idea of mangoes on the ground to rot... they're expensive imports where I live.

  7. I hope they keep coming to your garden and that we'll get to enjoy such fabulous shots! I haven't seen the Blue Mormon. I like the markings on its wings.
