Description:

A Beautiful Oil Painting, On The Wings Of A Butterfly.... On February 6, 2015, at 6:30 p.m. in the evening, a beautiful Gulf Fritillary Butterfly, was born inside one of my terrariums. It was born healthy, and it was able to fly. It was born, while resting on the floor, of this terrarium. On February 7, 2015, at 7:30 a.m. in the morning, I set it free. It eagerly flew away.... The first photo, shows why it's wings look like an oil painting. The first photo, also shows this Gulf Fritillary Butterfly, resting on the side of this terrarium.
