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.

I must congratulate you for yet another great picture. I live these flying beauties. This green color is very attractive and the view point is different and seldom we take in this angle. Very good colors.

The beauty of this shot is beyond description, Jose. The combination of green and brown on the butterfly's wings is perhaps the best I have ever seen.

hello Jose ,A Very great photo , a beautiful butterfly,
what a colours compositie pov dof and sharpnes ,
very good work ,Greetings Teunie .TFS .

This is a great little camera yo have and your taking some great shots with it. The POV you use is very effective.
The colours are well saturated and detail is very good considering you only have 2M pixels to work with and a 3 times zoom.
Great sharpness and good composition.

Hello Jose,

A very impressive and colorful photograph of a very beautiful butterfly! I like your composition and the way you balanced the green color in the butterfly's wings with the green color of the plant. Even the red color is present in the wings, leading to a very harmonious picture. I must say that it was the butterfly that caught my attention immediatly. The red and yellow color of the flowers add more life to your picture. All these elements look just great against that cloudy sky. I don't know what your camera settings were, but I think you used a wide aperture and thus optained a deep DOF.
Exposure is good but some parts of the plants are a bit underexposed. However this doesn't take away from the overall beauty of your picture. A great post with an interesting note. Excellent work! Thanks!

With Best Regards,
Eddie

This is gorgeous! So sharply detailed and the colors arr wonderful!
