This is the Sylphina Angel Butterfly. It is a member of the clear-wing family, it is native to Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia. The Sylphina Angel Butterfly is a neo-tropical species, living in the subtropical broadleaf forests but not the true rain forest of the Amazon. The Sylphina Angel Butterfly are found in the Andean mountains.
Hope you like the images!! They were not the easiest to find!!
BL~ Butterfly profile deco Γ‘ΖΕ‘ Nov.
I wanted to do fall colors for this NOVEMBER swap
so I typed in fall butterfly
& this beauty caught my eye ;-) Γ‘ΖΕ‘
At first I thought it was a Peacock Butterfly because it is very similar ;-)
But this is found in the southern US
where I am!!! ;-)
Common Buckeye (Junonia coenia) butterflies are only a couple of inches across, but their eyespots can make them look much bigger to predators.
This beautiful butterfly belongs to the Nymphalidae family. It is mostly found in Southern parts of the United States. They usually live in areas of low vegetation. They have white bars on the upper wing surface with 6 prominently visible eyespots. They have a very unique and distinctive feeding pattern as they live on mud fluid and damp sand.
Hope you enjoy these fall colors & Butterflies ;-)
I hope you like the butterflies that I've chosen for you this month.
First, I will be sharing with you a small butterfly called the Pearl Crescent Butterfly.
The Pearl Crescent is one of the most common and widespread butterflies in the eastern United States. It is also one of the hardest butterflies to identify with certainty, because of two very similar butterflies, the Northern and Tawny Crescents. The Northern Crescent was only separated from the Pearl Crescent in the last 25 years, and therefore distribution maps where these two overlap are somewhat suspect.
Habitat: Woodland edges, roadsides, and open fields.
Flight: Two broods. The first brood is found from early May through early July, and then a second brood is present in August through mid September.
Abundance: Common throughout southern Wisconsin. Most often noticed along gravel or dirt trails in open areas.
The next butterfly that I will be sharing with you is the Giant Swallowtail.
Wing Span: 4 - 6 1/4 inches (10.2 - 16 cm).
Flight: Two in the north from May-September; all year in Florida and the Deep South.
Habitat: Many locales including rocky and sandy hillsides near streams or gullies in the north; pine flats, towns, and citrus groves in the south.
Range: Throughout eastern North America west to the Rocky Mountains, south through the desert Southwest to South America. A rare stray to Quebec, North Dakota, and Bermuda.
The final butterfly that I will be sharing with you is the Night Butterfly. This is a very rare and strange looking butterfly.
I couldn't find any information about it but I did think it was a very strange looking butterfly.
I hope you enjoyed learning about these "Somewhat Different Butterflies"!
