I’ve forgotten the name of this one but I recall an employee at the Butterfly Wonderland telling me it was a Zebra something or other – possibly a Zebra Palm King. What I noticed about it is that his top and bottom are a bit similar. Seems this species has evolved to have a bottom that looks like it could be the top so that if a predator were to take a nip of the one “head” it could live to flutter for another day.
BTW – This critter and tree limb look amazing in monochrome. Will share it with you on Monday.
Adaptation. The key to survival in nature. Nice shot.
Thanks. Adapt or get left behind… in a birds tummy.
I actually looked at it backwards until I notice the antennae. Cool little guy. Cheers!
See! His disguise works 🙂
Down on the upside! I love the markings. Looks very zebraish.
Wonder if one landed on a zebra would you be able to find it 😉
You could paste it on some Zebra photos and do a “Find the Butterfly” post.
Not feeling that ambitious today 😉
The more of Nature one sees, the more the marvel. Nice shot, Teri.
And there is so so much more out there to marvel at providing we don’t muck it up! Thanks, John.
