Mexican Blue Wing
Myscelia ethusa
19.4325, -99.1332
Field Notes
Description:
A gorgeous metallic blue and black butterfly. The underside of the wings is brown and leaf-like, it is truly shocking when it opens it's wings with so much color. Family Nymphalidae.
Habitat:
I would have expected to see this in the jungle not in the middle of Mexico City. It was on a "Green Wall" next to the Soumaya Museum, Plaza Carso.
