Unknowingly his end of days has arrived.
This beauty arrived to sit on a leaf of a Bottle Brush tree in a garden next door.
A happy Friday to all and we all have made it through, not only the week, but also through the end of the HardFork on #hive
There is a time to be born and a time to die for everybody and everything, so I will show you what I know in this post. It is however what we do between these two milestones that matters, as we could either live a life of happiness or a life of discontent.
In most instances the choice is ours.
So I stood outside our home and zoomed the butterfly in the garden next door.
The Butterfly is called, "The European Large White", or over here the, "Cabbage White" (Pieris brassicae) and it is an invasive species.
It looked a bit battered here with the damage at the bottom of its right wing.
We have had severe storms and winds here for the past weeks and the lady of the house called me into her garden to show me this branch that the wind has ripped off a tree in her garden.
This is a strong young branch and you can imagine the force of the wind that we had last night.
Look what I found on my way out of her garden. This one sat on the paving at the front door of her house.
I gently picked it up and placed the butterfly in her hand.
We looked for damages in the wings, but found none.
This butterfly is classified as a pest, as they damage farmer's crops.
You can see more by cliking on the [Source] link below.
The large white butterfly's habitat consists of large, open spaces, as well as farms and vegetable gardens, because of the availability of its food source. Some favoured locations include walls, fences, tree trunks, and often their food plant. They primarily hover around these locations, which should contain both wild and cultivated crucifer, as well as oil-seed rape, cabbages, and Brussels sprouts

So the lady took the butterfly and placed it on a flower in the dry area of her back sunroom. Although there's no sun today there will be tomorrow and if the butterfly survives overnight, it might make it.
However I have seen this before and this butterfly's chances are slim.
And That's All Friends!

Yep, I know the "Kohlweißling" and the farmers don't like it a lot. Still, it is a butterfly and as such it is a nice insect to me :)

Good evening Hannes,
I am in agreement with you, as thrre are many animals, birds and insects and even spiders that are reckoned as pests, but yes they are all beautiful in our eyes.
Cheers and thanks.
Good evening Zac,
yep, although I would certainly think different if I was a farmer ;)
!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Hi Hannes,
So strange and yet so comforting to know that we are all different. What is good for one is poison for another.
Life would really have been a tower of Babel if we all had to think exactly the same methinks.
Cheers and thanks.
That's right my friend, the difference is important, it's what makes us humans and the world interesting, although some thoughts or opinions wouldn't have to be.

Many thoughts and opinions rather belong in trash can my friend.
But as they say, everybody has an opinion.
You know what I will say 😉
Cheers and thanks.
Richt, such is life, my friend, and I try to ignore most of these opinions.
!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

We have a lot of cabbage butterflies here and I need to protect my brassica crops with row covers or they will be filled with worms from the Cabbage butterfly chewing away through the leaves.
They are quite a beautiful butterfly up close and once I have my crops protected I love to watch them.
Lovely shots!
Oh yes, they have invaded most countries and many farmers suffer damages from them.
But yes, I always look at the beautiful side of things and I also love to watch them.
We have another large white butterfly here (I forget the name) and they breed here.
Every year they migrate in huge flocks to Madagascar and it is amazing to watch the clouds of white butterfies flying over.
Blessings!
That would be amazing! Hopefully you'll get some photos of them. We don't get anything like that. The monarch butterflies don't come this far north and that is the only butterfly in Canada that I know migrates - amazing creatures!
We have a wide range of butterfly species here and they travel all over most of the African continent's southern parts.
When I see the migration in action I will do a post on it for sure.
Thank you and stay blessed.
The butterfly looks good though
Thank you kindly.
Alright sir you are welcomed
