Dirce Beauty, Indoors

This is one of those butterfly species, that for some reason, likes to come inside the house to die. And with the heavier than usual winds this year, inside seems to be the only place I can photograph butterflies. So here are 3 postmortem photos of a Dirce Beauty, Colobura dirce (my gallery link) on my living room floor. 🙂 And notice the big difference of the top and bottom of the wings.

Dirce Beauty

A butterfly that I don’t see very often, though in 5 locations now, is the Dirce Beauty, Colobura dirce (my gallery link) was one of the 11 species that I photographed at Punta Leona. B&W butterflies don’t have a lot of fans, but it is one more of the many species found here!
