Field Notes
Description:
Walking along a path through the jungle bordering on a lagoon, this butterfly flew past me, landed on a log for a minute and flew off. I just fired off a quick shot, and it turned out not too bad.
Beautiful blue colour when the light caught the scales on the wings.
Habitat:
Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary, a mosaic of elongated lagoons, connected by creeks, savannas and logwood thickets.
Notes:
Possibly a Mexican Bluewing ?
