看到蝴蝶绕着这棵树一只飞，特意过去观察一下。没想到竟然还有惊喜。
首先就是看到许多的小毛虫🐛在啃食着叶片。再仔细一看，叶面上还可以找到一颗颗尖尖白白的卵，长得像米粒，可是却小得多了。
同时也在叶子下面发现了蛹的存在，甚至有个已经破蛹了。看来毛虫们已经存在一段日子了。顺手收了一个蛹给孩子们观察。
除了看到生，也看到死。毛虫吃叶子，却也要成为蚂蚁🐜们的食物，这就是食物链。或许它身上的小点点可以吓唬比较大一点的狩猎者，可是在蚂蚁眼中，可能根本看不见。蚂蚁虽小，却一口咬穿毛虫的皮，让它流出青色的体液。看着仿佛可以听见毛虫的哀嚎和求救。
把蛹放在透明盒子里养了两天，它就孵化了。没想到是，刚把它放到树旁，它竟然跟另一只蝴蝶起舞，不一会儿，竟然无视我的存在，在一旁开始交配起来。
生命真奇妙！

Saw a butterfly flying around on bush. Went and see whether I have chance to grab a snap of it. Surprisingly found there were quite some caterpillars on the leaves. They were chewing the leaves.
After inspected for more details, I found there were eggs on leaves too. Shape like American football, white in color and length maybe only 2mm.
At the meantime, I found cocoons under leaves too. One for them was hatched. Seems like caterpillars were grown here for some days. I took a cocoon back for my kids.
Others than life cycle of butterfly, there was preys and predators found there. Ants were attacking a caterpillar. Ants were small but they were strong and working together to hunt for food. Even though ants were small, but their bites created great damage on caterpillar. I could heard the screaming of caterpillar. But this is life!
The cocoon I brought home hatched after 2 days. I let go the nearby the bush. Only in a second, it found it's mate, and they went mating at aside. What a rare opportunity for me to take some pictures on these.
Hope you enjoy my pictures.
