Its interesting how a normal society’s garden can have such an interesting variety of natural beauties. While exploring the garden section, usually have seen bark mantis several times, hence while searching for the evasive predator, stumbled upon some fast moving butterfly. After several minutes of chasing the beauty eventually, the weathered, yet hyper active butterfly, decided to take some brief rest on the periwinkle flower and on close observation, spotted it extend its curled up proboscis and then curl it back in. Later while I could manage to get pretty close and frame the beauty, realized that its proboscis had some pollen, not sure if it had sucked it out from this flower or from earlier flower that it might had visited. After a brief rest though it just flew off almost vanishing in the dark evening environment
EXIF:

Canon 100mm macro
