We do not have many butterflies as I notice they like seasonal flowers But our ixora attracts them and here you see this butterfly on one of our yellow ixora.
Talking of butterflies I remembere while I was in school I had taken a huge butterfly form my mother's garden to school. I kept it in my desk and the next day there were countless eggs layed there. I do not remember what I did with them I let the butterfly fly away
Any butterflies in your garden?

Such lovely memories you have.
Not too many butterflies around but I did sew a few this year.
Maybe I need to plant butterfly plants.

Caterpillars are quite destructive but we just cannot do anything about it as we want to see butterflies. That is a pretty butterfly What flowers are those?

If you have seasonal flowers you will find them We have several perennial ixora flowers and they get attracted to them.

Caterpillars as you know should turn into butterflies. Any reason why they disappear?

@Bullshark, soon those caterpillars will be hatched and you'll see many lovely butterflies.

@allknowing I guess not if you did not think it was funny. Butterflies in stomach equals nervous. I thought it was funny.
