Little Morning Shower
I went out for a walk in my yard to find some new animal or plant and I certainly did!
At first, a shower happened and so I had to wait for the light raining to stop. When it did I finally took a step out for my new adventure.
I took a recording of birds somewhere at the edge of my yard and then I followed some twittering about at the coconut tree. A Bird! It was small and it had a light underbelly with clear fine line between it and the rest of the body.
Alas, I was not able to take a picture of it huhuhu
Then I proceed to look around the ground anticipating some of the lesser blues fluttering about, and then I saw this new butterfly! I wonder where it's from. Turns out it may be a darter, I'm excited to figure out what genus or subspecies!
Behind this was a little larvae, I wish I'd kept it but I wasn't ready to do so. maybe some other day when I find another one. I'm pretty sure this may be zizina otis (Lesser Blue)
And then I just went about and almost ended my search, when I spotted our fallen vase! I rushed to it a raised it up. Suddenly this little thing came on the leaf. I feel like it was pretty cautious about me, Cause I didn't really keep still at first and flew away after just one picture!
Oh well, this morning was exhilarating!
Later I'm going to Moalboal (a province just north of ours.) with my grandmother to a mall. Who knows! I may find something.

I saw this and then I screamed in myself. This doesn’t look like the other butterfly, though it sure is as small as the lesser blue.

Might this be the zizina otis (lesser blue) larva?!

I was fixing up a vase and then this thing flew onto a leaf! It looks so cool, it’s as if it’s camouflage fits a certain tree back.
