A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Mesosemia grandis
I was standing on a hanging bridge over the rainforest canopy when I saw this little butterfly way down below on some leaves on the top of the lower trees. I waited for a very long time for it to open it's wings. It was resting in a V shape, wings half open. (last photo)
Seen in the cloud forest canopy in Monteverde, Costa Rica.
thanks bayucca. I saw many different Metalmarks in Central America, the first ones I have seen. Don't see them in South India, it seems, or at least not around where I live.
hehehe Lauren, it paid off in more ways than one. It was so beautiful being up in the canopy gazing down on the trees...
