Birth of a butterfly


 Just born lime swallowtail butterfly at home 😊 It flutters its wings to dry them and is then ready to fly out to greet the world.

The Caterpillar was on a plant in my balcony. Had brought it in and kept it in the lantern to save it from predators. Fed it with leaves. And this was the result 😊
