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.
