In my post today I decided to show you my pet. But this is not the ordinary pet. It’s a butterfly. I know a lot of people love butterflies but I had no idea that you can buy some and take care of them as they are cats or dogs. Their price starts in only 15$ for the most common species. So this was my butterfly:
Its binominal name is Inachis Io or Peacock butterfly. It should have been sleeping during the winter, but it wake up and flew to our balcony. Then we decide to keep it. I searched the net about how to take care of butterflies. I had to feed it, which was the worst part, because I couldn’t make her pull out her proboscis. The butterfly was eating honey syrup or sugar water or rotten fruits. That's how it all happened:
The saddest part about butterflies is that they may live only a week. Well, ours live a bit longer in our living room. It stayed on the curtain most of the time. It couldn’t fall back to sleep and it eventually died after a month. Even though it was just a butterfly I was sad. Plus it’s not good luck for if a butterfly dies into your home. But it’s really rear to have a butterfly living in your house.
