Where Are You Now?

Every morning and mid-afternoon I could still see butterflies in our garden. Mostly, they are as small as my eyes, white wings with dark spots. Some are colored yellow while the bigger ones are of the ordinary species. But a few hours ago, I haven't seen any because it's raining. I was wondering where do butterflies go when it rains. Do they hide themselves like people used to do when the rain comes? When it rains butterflies settle on the stems of flowers or stalks of grass. How come we couldn't see them easily? The answer to this question is, they hang head downwards with their wings folded together over their backs. Most butterflies are difficult to see when their wings are closed, because the undersides have only pale colours and faint patterns. Photo: http://www.flickr.com/ Link: Blue Morph folded wings
