common mormon


pupa looks like a green leaf

















Hello! friends
One day a beautiful butterfly came and laid plenty of eggs on our kadhipatta plant . After five days they turned into caterpillar and started eating the leaves of the plant.On the same night after dinner we went to see and say good night to them ,at that time we saw one lizard came and ate all the caterpillars and she was going to eat the last caterpillar, my mother had hit the lizard with water to scare it. Ishwari and i told my mother to take the plant inside our house to protect the caterpillar from the lizard .After two days caterpillar started making the pupa. Every day we had observed the pupa.The pupa was looking same as kadhipatta leaf. We were eager to see the baby butterfly .One week was passed the pupa turned into dark colour.Yesterday our joy knew no bounds that in the morning butterfly came out and rested on my hand.The name of butterfly is common mormon.
