This was one of my favorite butterflies found at the Butterfly Palace in Branson, Missouri. Whenever I’m in Branson, I try to make it to the Butterfly Palace and gather a few out-of-the-ordinary images. I’ve never seen or photographed this species.
According to Wikipedia, the Philaethria dido, the scarce bamboo page or dido longwing, is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in Central America and tropical South America, both east and west of the Andes, from Brazil and Ecuador northwards to Mexico.
Get a closer look by clicking on the photo. The eyes are always cool and the antennae are particularly long.
All of the photos I post are available for purchase. If you’d like to buy one, click on the blue “Buy this Online” bar below for a variety of print and frame options or contact me (pops@popsdigital.com) for digital purchase and licensing options.
