Butterflies and cycles in nature

From the time I became interested in photography as well as butterflies I noticed one very interesting thing. In nature everything happens in some kind of cycles, for example: one type of butterfly is active for a while and can be seen everywhere, and then it suddenly withdraws, almost disappears and no single specimen of that species can be noticed.
The change of active butterfly species occurs several times a year, I suppose all this is related to their mating processes, hatching eggs, etc. Of course in this whole story, the fact is that there are species of butterflies whose lifespan is only a few weeks, a few months, half a year, there are species that manage to live up to a year, though they are very rare.
During one calendar year, butterflies manage to reproduce in two to three generations, all depending on weather conditions, a dry or rainy year affects the growth of vegetation, which is a key element for a species to successfully pass through all stages of metamorphosis. If the so-called foster plant has not grown in sufficient numbers and extent, it will directly affect the abundance of certain butterfly species that are directly dependent on that plant.
These days I watch the flowering of field flowers, until recently the meadow was full of that flower, while now the flower is slowly disappearing, but at the same time another kind of flower is slowly starting to appear that just hasn't bloomed. Soon all the butterflies will be on that beautiful white flower, I hope I can make photos of that event.
Today in my daily walk in the meadow, I approached a tree because I noticed a butterfly called Comma (Lat. Polygonia c-album) on the branches. He flew and circled around me many times, I stretched out my hand and waited patiently. The butterfly repeatedly came at me, touched me and continued to fly around me. I didn't give up the intention of landing on my arm, I didn't wait long and the butterfly landed on my arm. I made some photos of the event and you can see them here.
I love this butterfly very much, I'm simply delighted by its unusual wing shape, as well as the tiny white mark on the underside of his wings. In addition to Comma, I took photos of several other species in different environments.
