Description
A green and black butterfly macro image is a close-up photograph of a butterfly with a predominantly green and black coloration pattern. The image captures the intricate details and textures of the butterfly's wings, body, and antennae, showcasing the beauty and diversity of nature.
I have taken this photograph of the most glorious and vibrantly colored Goliath Birdwing butterfly in Butterfly Conservatory in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada a few years ago.

Ornithoptera Goliath Birdwing butterfly is the second-largest butterfly in the world, next only to Queen Alexandra’s birdwing. The butterfly is found in a very limited area in New Guinea in five local subspecies. This species is also the second most poisonous butterfly in the world, though its poison can’t kill people.
The butterfly is one of the most widely admired types of insects. They start their lives as fuzzy caterpillars and then grow into colorful, majestic-looking creatures like the one I presented here.

Hello sweet Jolanta, Did you ever read the story of Zhuang Zhou? One night a Chinese philosopher named Zhuang Zhou dreamed he was a butterfly fluttering over meadows and gardens. When he woke up, he sat at the edge of his bed and thought, "Am I a human who just dreamed he was a butterfly or am I a butterfly who is now dreaming he's a human?" It's a profound question that reminds me of a statement by Edgar Allan Poe. He wrote, "All that we are or seem to be is a dream within a dream." A lot has been write about Zhuang Zhou's butterfly dream because it point to a deep philosophical question about transitioning between illusion and reality. I really encourage you to go online and read it if you have had the philosophical itch that I have had for as long as I can remember. In a roundabout sort of way, it's also consistent with the movie MATRIX that came out in 1999.
