A pneumatocyst of N. luetkeana washed ashore with some rockweed (Fucus gardneri, photo 3) surrounding it. It has the texture and hardness of smooth plastic when dried.
Ivory or very pale yellow colored, with brown edges on the dorsal side of the wings. There are also three brown spots per wing. Large, light green compound eyes.
The first photo shows a monarch butterfly that's possibly leucistic.
I really hope so. But new buildings are being built now. So, it'll be more civilized soon, and there won't be enough habitats for some butterflies. The number of species I recorded throughout the years is going more and more low. Maybe it's because of the season. I'll have to wait and see when spring comes again. Even though we don't have extreme seasonal changes here, the slight change does affect the population of butterflies.
Aww. :(
Don't worry, you seem very persistent! I'm sure that eventually they will come. And new ones too! :)
