Description
Rice-paper Butterfly (Idea leuconoe) at the New Forest wildlife park. We ventured into the butterfly house, i dont like fluttering things and was quite concerned that i would not be able to handle going through but i did and had a great time dodging the butterflies, photographing as many as would stay still and wondering about their beautiful colours as the flitted from flower to flower. Have you ever noticed how drab they are on the outside and how beautiful they are on the inside of their wings? How iridescent they can be, there were so many delicate wings that had become tattered as they flitted about finding a mate and laying their eggs, it was sad to see such beauty so tattered but amazing to see the eggs through their cycle from the size of a grain of rice to a pupae waiting to fly.
