My Lastest Butterfly Painting

Hello creative steemians,

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you .....Nathaniel Hawthorne

Today I messed around again with my colours and it resulted in birthing a butterfly. As i studied a couple of butterflies images in my gallery, I realized that majority if not all of them have the same designs and colours on both wings.

If the butterfly is patterned, then its even harder to get the exact designs on the same sides by hand. I still went ahead to try my hands on it.

It wasn't an easy process if you ask me, i soent approximately 2hrs on this. While my music box played siftly in the background, I i was on my desk messing around with colors. Finally I outlined it and tweaked it a bit with photo editor.

So I got some fun facts about butterflies

  • Butterflies don’t taste with taste buds, but rather sensors located under their feet.
  • A group of butterflies is known as a flutter.
  • Butterflies can see beyond the ultraviolet spectrum and their eyes consist of a network of 6000 lenses.
  • The Common Buckeye Butterfly is considered as one of the most striking species of butterflies with its wide upper wing bars and big, multicolored eyespots.
  • The Giant Swallowtail Butterfly is one of the biggest butterfly species on the planet, with wings spanning from 4 to 7 inches.
  • The adult butterfly only lives 3 to 4 weeks in average.
  • Some butterflies can be very picky about where they lay their eggs. As a matter of fact, some butterflies will only lay their eggs in one type of plant.
  • The first thing a caterpillar eats after it hatches from its cocoon is usually the shell of the cocoon itself.
