This butterfly appeared in a shot of another butterfly. To show this butterfly alone I had to zoom in.
This picture was taken at the Key West FL Butterfly Conservatory. A great place to visit when you are in Key West. | | Positive | debnes_dfw_tx | On Mar 20, 2008, debnes_dfw_tx from Fort Worth, TX

The larval host is of the Annonaceae.
They rarely sit with wings open, and that is to bask in the sun or flitting while nectaring or courting. |
