“The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.”

~Rabindranath Tagore

We went for a bike ride last week and he keenly spotted this butterfly lying in the grass. It was missing an eye and it’s wings were worn and a little tatty around the edges so we quickly realised it was deceased. It’s a little tragic the tale of the butterfly; some butterflies only live for four days, some a matter of a few months, which is something that google later taught us. Either way it’s not often you get to admire the beautiful details of these creatures so close.
