Lime Butterfly in My Yard

After six years (on 1 May 2021 to be precise), a lime butterfly visits my yard again! It was a joy to welcome this visitor, albeit non-human, confined to my house as I was by the lockdown.

The lime butterfly loves to bask, and so can be fairly easily photographed. It's a photographer's delight.

The lime tree is the host plant for its caterpillars, which explains its common name.

I spent some happy minutes clicking away, and was reminded of this quote from one of Tagore's poems: "The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough."
