I don't expect anyone to be able to identify it from this shot, but at least I got a shot of it. It's about twice the size of the first butterfly in the sequence, about an inch across it's wingspan. This is a backlit shot without a flash so the body color is difficult to see, however it's a very dark solid brown. The wing ends are light tan to gold. The body is very unusual. It's a bright, almost translucent orange. It's body looks more like a mystery bug rather than a mystery butterfly or moth. Who knows, perhaps it is a bug. I am not sure if it was resting or feeding on the bleeding heart vine. Art |
