Field Notes

Description:

They flit nervously from spot to spot until they find a patch of ground rich in dissolved minerals, where they drink, while periodically fanning their wings. After a few moments they usually close the wings, but will bask with wings outspread if mist or cloud obscures the sunlight. - learnaboutbutterflies.com

Habitat:

cloudforest, 2400m

Notes:

Another beauty from Santuario Otun Qiumbaya.
