When my sister and I were watering the ornamental plants in front of the house, suddenly I managed to find a black butterfly flying around the flowers, this butterfly was shiny black but the color was not metallic black, the flash color was produced by wax powder all over its body. This is a very large and very wild butterfly, it is very difficult to approach this butterfly because it is very sensitive to the slightest movement, I even had to photograph this butterfly in several different places such as on the ground and on paper flowers. When this butterfly opened its wings wide, I could see the true beauty of this butterfly, it turned out that there was a white color on the tips of its wings, but the color could only be seen when the butterfly opened its wings.

This butterfly also has two black antennae. They're not very long, but they serve quite a useful function.
Okay everyone, now I'm going to share some pictures of this wild butterfly here.
