Under the fragile forest floor and among the dry leaves, I found a green baron butterfly resting weakly. It tried to fly once, but couldn't because one of its wings was damaged. I nearly stepped on it. I completely missed it, focused on the green leaves, which also contained beautiful insects.
The presence of this butterfly on the forest floor immediately caught my attention. I crouched down, took a closer look, and took a picture. My first glance fell on its damaged wing, and I felt sorry for it. It was in a state between death and life. Its activities were severely limited, especially in its search for food.
Although its physical condition was no longer perfect, its will to survive never faded. As I mentioned earlier, it continued to try to fly. Even though it knew it was no longer able to fly, its spirit was extraordinary, and it amazed me.
