A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Pseudolycaena damo
While I was walking in the park an hour before sunset, this beautiful butterfly zoomed down the path and landed on a leaf in front of me. Its upper wing was a bright turquoise blue. I also saw one more, but it didn't stop.
Beach-fronted National Park and Marine reserve. Tropical and very humid.
This site has 1067.9 hectares in land area, 600 ha in coral reef and 22,400 hectares of marine area, home to one of the best-developed coral reefs in the Caribbean and more importantly coast of Costa Rica. It also protects a sample of swampy forest with pure stands of raffia (Arecaceae) and Sangrillo (Fabaceae), as well as a great diversity of epiphytes and very humid forest remnants, typical of this area of life and white sandy beaches of great scenic beauty.
