Open butterfly flower garden in the Ecological Reserve of Charco Verde
The Ecological Reserve of Charco Verde covers 20 hectares of tropical dry forest which is home to many animals. Within the reserve is the mystical pond of Charco Verde with its emerald green waters. The lagoon owes its peculiar color to abundant algae. In earlier times the Indians used to make sacrifices and supplications to their gods here. The reserve lies along a volcanic beach.
Yes James, it looks like it. I did consider this one, but wasn't sure. Waited for confirmation and I gues I got it... Thanks !
Pam I believe this is a Royal. Based on the grey eye, most are black. Orange fringe to neck and the two eyes on tail with blue in between
