Blue-winged Eurybia

Eurybia lycisca

Description:

This butterfly seemed to always land on the underneath of leaves, in Primary Rainforest where it was quite dark, so hard to get a good photo. But it was beautiful flying around, flashing that gorgeous blue.

Habitat:

Primary Rainforest.

Notes:

I saw this butterfly in Primary rainforest at Selva Verde with Alejandro Esquivel Gaitán. Unfortunately my camera fell into the river before I had a chance to download the photos, so he kindly allowed me to use his photos...

thanks Gilma... Luckily it was only my little Lumix point and shoot, not my big camera. I already replaced it, but lost a few photos from the rainforest!
