The Little Winged Creature

This little winged creature landed on my daughter’s finger without a warning… Fascinating.

BUTTERFLY TRIVIA:  The magnificent color of butterfly wings does not come from pigmentation directly on the wing, but from the tiny scales that hang on the wing like shingles on a house roof.   These scales are so small they look like powder when rubbed onto the fingers.
