You're So Sweet, Maplet!

My grandpa once said, "If you take care of nature, it will take care of you."

A Maplet butterfly (Chersonesia rahria) approached me and perched on my index finger. That happened just a few days ago when I was descending the foothills in North Aceh's Sidomulyo forest. The Maplet is a lovely orange butterfly.

The Maplet is a lovely orange butterfly. It was flying around me gently at first, and then I was surprised to find it landed on my fingers.

I sensed that it was extremely probable that it was an indication that it wanted to be my friend.

It had been perched on my fingers for long enough, so I let it stay there, despite the fact that my fingers were tingling.

It seemed as though it didn't mind that I was an extraterrestrial from another world. Maybe I was a nice giant to Maplet, and it knew I wouldn't injure it. You're so sweet, Maplet!😍
