Description
A colorful Malachite butterfly perches on a lime green leaf. This shows the top side of the wings--very different from the underside! Digitally manipulated for a painterly/artistic effect. Copyright Bill Caldwell / ABeautifulSky Photography.
Large fine art prints are available up to 60 inches x 40 inches.
WIKIPEDIA: The Malachite (Siproeta stelenes) is a neotropical brush-footed butterfly (family Nymphalidae). The malachite has large wings that are black and brilliant green or yellow-green on the upperside and light brown and olive green on the underside. It is named for the mineral malachite, which is similar in color to the bright green on the butterfly's wings.
