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.

What a dramatic photo, I love the low POV, and the bright vibrant colors. The puffy clouds accent the bright colors of the butterfly and flowers well. I'm not sure about the tree on the left, I think I might have cropped some of it, although I'm still not sure. Excellent work, very beautiful.

Hi Jose,
perfect. Outstanding.
Wonderful pose and point of view. Fresh colours.
Excellent details. Enormous depth of field.
The species very well and clearly pressented.
Combining a well detailed macro with that much clearly visible surrounding is very exciting to look at.
Thank you! Best regards,
Peter

PS: Maybe some cropping at the left might further add to the concentration - in my opinion, but definitely not that much of importance.

Ohhh, what a shot.
The colors are beautiful, the composition is really original.
Thanks,
Andrea

A very nice shot, I like the low-angle POV. Great detail and the colours are superb. Out of smileys tonight, I'll come back tomorrow.
