The Julia is turning out to be one of the most colorful butterflies in my garden this year with some other past butterflies not back. Here’s just two shots from my garden the other day and you can see more in my gallery: Julia Heliconian, Dryas julia with shots from literally every area of Costa Rica on both slopes, though, because I’m home more than anywhere, the most shots are from here in Atenas. 🙂 And the featured photo was chosen because it is an unusual view of one flying toward me and not because of the quality of the photo. Below is the most common view of this very orange butterfly . . .


¡Pura Vida!
