Have you ever wonder what happens to butterflies when it is raining heavily? Being delicate creatures they have no choice but to get out of the rain – not to mention the wind (above).
Well, KC Tsang encountered a Lime Butterfly (Papilio demoleus malayanus) hanging for dear life at the edge of a papaya leaf (Carica papaya)Lime Butterfly avoiding the rain, not a very safe place either, but still better than no shelter.
The attached video clip shows the butterfly being hit by rain drops and the strength of the wind.
