Hej again dear. Malawi is slowly recovering, yes. But a bit over 100.000 ppl will struggle more than usual this year since all their crops are destroyed. I have abour 20 more days of work here before I go bck to the Swedish spring.

I can see you chasing butterflies there, you are a butterfy queen darling! I am looking forward to see them spottings here :) ll the best and stay safe!

thanks VFT. Yes it is certainly beautiful, but one has to get it in the correct light or the upper wing also looks a dull brown. Only in certain lights it flashes that brilliant blue.

epic series, Pam, love the design on this butterfly! It is amazing how the inside beauty of the wing contrasts with the duller outside!
