Grass Yellow Butterfly
This butterfly was darting over the ground when I saw it making slowly move to the wild plant, I decided to come a bit closer to take a few pictures that I used to do when I sighted the beautiful stuff around. According to my observation, it is one of beautiful butterflies that I ever found, especially the color that attracted so badly to capture this winged insect. It is called common grass yellow butterfly (Eurema hecabe), that are often found in large dense groups of mixed species, including the statira sulphur (Aphrissa statira), apricot sulphur (Phoebis argante), and the straight-line sulphur (Rhabdodryas trite). The species eats nectar from red-colored plants. It is fairly small butterfly, readily recognized by their bright yellow wings and their habit of gathering in small groups on patches of damp sand or soil. Despite their name, none of their caterpillars feed on grasses - the name is derived from the fact that most species are found in disturbed grassy habitats.

I love yellow butterflies , look so nice. It is like a sunbeam flying over green grass. Their bright wings really stand out. The color shines against all the green. It shows nature's easy charm. Each time it moves, it feels like a quiet song.
