Blending in so perfectly with the background.
The blades of grass show by comparison how tiny the Butterfly actually is.

A visit to the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Park.
Although we only saw two of the Big Five, we probably saw all of the Tiny Twenty!
Sightings included Giraffe, Zebra, Buffalo, Rhino, Impala, Nyala, Warthog and a variety of birds.
 
 This Giraffe is clearly a survivor! 
Smurf City
These tiny Mushrooms grow in the Rhino middens  

 Beautiful Water Lilies are in bloom all over. 
Spot the Damsel Fly ;)
 Siesta time. "They don't call me Thick Knee for nothing!"
 This Water Lily had such a long stem that it seemed to be floating all on its own.
Spot the Damsel Fly ;)
 Siesta time. A Zebra catching 40 winks!

Whenever I visit the park, I take a photo at this very spot.
It is interesting to see how the scene has changed in the last year.

A friend's plant was looking very sick and after a very thorough inspection, 
we found that these little critters were the reason.
They are only about 3mm in length and suck the sap from the leaves causing the leaves to wilt.
