Field Notes

Description:

This butterfly frustrated me all day until I had all but given up any hope of a decent picture. It is full of energy zipping from here to there. The green jay is a medium sized butterfly (3 to 4 inches) and captivating in flight. Spotted in captivity; see notes.

Habitat:

Wooded area with heavy rainfall.

Notes:
