Notes:

A beautiful butterfly, orange-ish in color, visits our garden quite often in the rainy season. This is the first time I have spotted this butterfly in our garden and now i am quite observant about the butterflies that visit our garden everyday. And I am happy to note that many of them visit frequently.
