I see magnificent butterflies here all the time. They come in wild, vibrant colors, and are more beautiful than any I've ever seen in America. I wish I could get pictures of them. I've never seen one light for a second; they are constantly moving and fluttering nonstop. This one I found in my backyard, puddling liquid from the rain-soaked concrete. I got one ok picture and decided to take a video instead. If you watch closely 9 seconds into the video, you can see the butterfly eject liquid from the end of its abdomen. Butterflies do this as they take in liquid and filter it through their body.This is one variant of the Great Mormon butterfly, which is found throughout Asia. They are huge - this one was the size of my whole hand held flat. It was black with blue iridescent scales on its wings, and white spots on its head. It was beautiful! Click below for the video.
