Baby Butterfly comes out from her Pupa | At my house


So.. Tuesday, 9th October '12 I notice this white capsule-like think hanging on my backyards wall with a black and golden-glittery line on it.
Amazed and excited i prayed and hoped for it to be a butterfly !

Friday noon i saw this cute little winged creature trying to take flight and believe me her colors were so beautiful that i touched her with my lips....just could not resist doing that ! 

Here is the scientific extract :- Science calls this beautiful sun-rust colored creature as
"Danaus chrysippus"


Danaus chrysippus, known as the Plain Tiger or African Monarch, is a common butterfly which is widespread in Asia and Africa. It belongs to the Danainae("Milkweed butterflies") subfamily of the brush-footed butterfly familyNymphalidae. It is a medium-sized, non-edible butterfly, which is mimicked by multiple species.
The Plain Tiger is believed to be one of the first butterflies to be used in art. A 3500 year old Egyptian fresco in Luxor features the oldest illustration of this species.[1]
The Plain Tiger can be considered the archetypical danaine of India. Accordingly, this species has been studied in greater detail than other members of its subfamily occurring in India.
