Description

"You can't depend on your eyes if your imagination is out of focus." ~ Mark Twain

I seem to be on a butterfly kick right now, so how about another. I found this White Peacock butterfly resting on a Jasmine bush one morning not too long ago. This is a crop at about 67% of the original resolution. ----- Species Anartia jatrophae - White Peacock Size Wing span: 2 - 2 3/4 inches (5.1 - 7 cm). Identification Upperside is white with light brown markings and a double row of light crescents at the margins. Forewing has one round, black spot; hindwing has two. Dry season (winter) form is larger and paler; wet season (summer form) is smaller and darker. Range Resident from Argentina north through Central America, Mexico, and the West Indies to South Texas and southern Florida. Migrates and temporarily colonizes to central Texas and coastal South Carolina. A rare wanderer to North Carolina, Missouri, Nebraska, and Kansas. Habitat Open, moist areas such as edges of ponds and streams, along shallow ditches, marshes,swamps, weedy fields, parks. Season Throughout the year in South Texas and the Deep South. Food Caterpillar hosts: Water hyssop (Bacopa), Ruellia, and Lippia. Adult food: Shepherd's needle (Bidens pilosa) in Florida; Cordia, Casearia, and composites in Central America. Life Cycle Males patrol and occasionally perch to find females. Eggs are laid singly near the host plant or under its leaves. ----- Thank you for your creamy comments on my last upload, Agraulis Vanillae.

Nice soft macro, depicting the wonderful grainy texture of the wings. I like the antenna, as usual. Splendid capture, Kort.
