Scientific name: Philaethria dido
Family: Nymphalidae.
Subfamily: Heliconinae.
Range: It occurs from Mexico to Argentina.
The Scarce Bamboo Page belongs to a group of almost identical species. This butterfly is characterized by its beautiful, bright green markings and dark brown margins. This butterfly flies fast and agile, often in a zigzag patch across the Canopy plants. Habitat: it occurs from sea level to 1,200 meters elevation on both sloths, in association with rain forest habitats. The adults seem to be uncommon, because they fly above the forest Canopy. The females are spotted more often because they descend to lay their eggs at midday along the forest edges or openings in the forest.

Very beautiful green buterfly Jose!
Very nice POV and BG!
Beautiful colours!
TFS!
What a awesome looking butterfly! Looking at the thumbnail I couldn't figure out what it was -- it looked like a wrought iron garden decoration. Great capture, Jose!
Hi Jose
I love the colours of this b'fly. We have so few here in New Zealand. Best option we have is to visit the tropical butterfly house, but sometimes that can be disappointing too. Well done on a lovey shot. TFS.
Beautiful subject. I've never seen one like it! Great unique coloring and nice lighting. Good capture!
