A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Eurytides marcellus
This butterfly was on our back porch screen, enjoying the aftermoon sun. It stayed there for a while. When I looked it up the wingspan averages between 2½"- 4", this one was close to 3" at least. We have a couple of butterfly bushes in our backyard and had several geraniums around our pool area last year. We have woods, blackberry brambles and a creek runs through the back of our yard.
Swampy areas, fields and brushy areas. I found this info at www.gardenswithwings.com
