The butterflies are so happy today!

And i with them.

Because one of their species has been declared a

National Symbol of Costa Rica. 

And this one has always been my most favorite of all butterflies.

 

Ever!

Its butterfly time now

again, here where i live

after some rain

 

scores of them are swirling

flying, winging thru the humid air

where i walk the jungle paths

 

those slow walking caterpillars have finished

their mysterious transmutation

trans-formation into light-winged swarms

of yellow & white & blue

and other ones

much more intricate painted

 

those butterflies

what are they doing all day?

what are their plans?
