I saved the caterpillars of these butterflies from certain death , when a neighbor had cut down the creeping Loranthus vines ( that he thought were simply parasitic) and had piled them up to be burned."rescued about 50+ caterpillars on the vines and after feeding and looking after them - released 41 gorgeous butterflies into the wild.

And the story was heart warming...
Great series Sachindra!
Fantastic photos and I love the story too. Well done!
How wonderful that you rescued them and allowed them to fly free. I especially like the second photo. Well done, both on the rescue and photos!
You've done great job bro! Feels happie as Hema said :)
Amazing photos! Well done Sachindra!
seems like a mammoth task! How did you keep and feed them. They obviously turned into pupa. Your success rate is 44/50 which is 88 % and that is a great achievement. Congrats and thnx for sharing!
Thank you Hema and Fyn , whoa - feeding these guys was on Major headache - The fellows have a voracious appetite ;-)
Good going, Sachindra!
Thank you for your kind deed :) The world is a better place indeed.
