Dryas iulia alcionea
Light orange butterfly with long wings (I guess that's why they sometimes are known as Longwings and are characterised by their simple patterns, elongated forewings and delicate fluttering flight.) , and some black markings on the wings.
Our garden, Los Palos Grandes, Altamira, Caracas, Venezuela. Near the Cerro del Avila mountain range and at 1000m above sea level.
This butterfly has a lovely flight and was fluttering into our garden which gave me the opportunity to take its picture quick.

Why is this in the “Life and Mathematics” mission? I think it might not quite fit with the purpose of that mission.
