Painted Jezebel
Chrysalis and adult, Painted Jezebel, Delias hyparete metarete. This beautiful butterfly is very common, but often flies high up in trees making it difficult to photograph. The caterpillar feeds on a parasitic mistletoe which grows on trees.
this blog is the result of an ordinary(well, not so ordinary. how many teenage guys can profess an interest in butterflies?)guy's passion for these supremely gorgeous and unceasingly fascinating insects.(all photos are taken by the the author, that is, me, unless otherwise stated)
