Well did everyone have a great Easter weekend!
Cause today is April Fool's Day. So watch out for all those jokers and pranksters. Someone will get someone somewhere.

Take a look at this beautifully delicate butterfly. This is a Paper Kite Butterfly Idea leuconoe. The Paper Kite Butterfly is typically found in west Malaysia. I found this beauty at the Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory in South Deerfield, Massachusetts.

An interesting little fact about these butterflies is that they belong to the subfamily of Danainae which is the same subfamily as the Monarchs. As most of may or may not know is that the Monarch is poisonous to most of their predators which means so isn't the Paper Kite. I never realized that there were so many butterflies that are poisonous.

The Paper Kite is also known as a Tree Nymph and Rice Paper Butterfly. These butterflies are about 6 inches across and move quite slowly, but ever so gracefully. They are quite stunning to watch. So if you get the chance to visit a butterfly conervatory, by all means do. It is peaceful and beautiful to watch such grace.
Have a terrific week!
So pretty! I stopped by from blogging buddies.

DeleteVery pretty butterfly! I totally forgot that today was April Fool's Day ...luckily I didn't have any pranksters come after me :)
ReplyDeleteI remember learning about bugs a long time ago in school, and learning that many butterflies are poisonous. Crazy, isn't it? Beautiful creatures, the monarch butterflies, with their vibrant wings, yet they are poisonous!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots!
