Butterflies are fascinating creatures, and one of the hardest to capture with a camera while they're in flight - you can't really plot their flight patterns as each one would erratically fly and float in all kinds of directions.
But they are beautiful and can easily mesmerise an onlooker for hours. Butterflies come in all shapes ans sizes, and the colours on their wings are truly unique. It is such an amazement these lovely visions came from a cocoon, metamorphosised from a butt-ugly caterpillar. Well, I guess the adage of "from ugly duckling to beautiful swan" is truer here than anywhere else.
A photography contest themed "Anything Butterfly" was held in conjunction with World Lupus Day. What is lupus? Well, it is a disease that attacks the nervous system and if I'm not mistaken, its telltale signs include a butterfly-shaped rash on the cheeks. Though the disease is found worldwide, not many knew about lupus as it still stayed under the radar all these times.
