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.
