stopped my lunch to take a photo of a pair of _Papilio polytes_ having noontime fun.

saw butterflies this morning. my first time to see a _Papilio deiphobus_ (_rumanzovia_?). it was very beautiful. the others, i was not able to photograph.

it had a peculiar style of flying, it hovered and glided a lot between our calamansi plants.

i greeted this grasshopper a ‘good morning’. it’s been a while since i last saw one.
These aerial renderings, based off an 1860s land survey and executed in watercolour for the Index of American Design (1936), depict a lost 19th-century Manhattan of grand country estates and vast private gardens: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/manhattans-last-arcadia

if you’ll zoom in, you’ll see a bunch of white mopheads hanging out. all four of them were very shouty when they i took this photo of them the other morning.
