https://3speak.tv/watch?v=elentogether/nveenlodcu Greetings, Hive people and nature lovers. A few days ago I was watering the plants and this butterfly came out of them. It landed on a wall and then went down to a fern leaf, making me think it wanted water. Saludos señores de Hive y amantes de la naturaleza. Hace dias estaba regando las matas y esta mariposa salió de ellas. Posó sobre una pared y después bajó a la hoja de un helecho, haciéndome pensar que quería agua. It is a Colobura dirce, tropical butterfly of the family nymphalidae. Es una Colobura dirce, mariposa tropical de la familia nymphalidae. The first time I saw such a specimen it was sitting on a pile of dry leaves. I was able to photograph it then, but I could only make out a white stripe on the dorsal side of its wings. La primera que vez vi un ejemplar asi posó en un montón de hojas secas. Entonces pude fotografiarla pero sólo distinguí una franja blanca en la cara dorsal de sus alas. This time I was able to find details that I hadn't seen before. It had a wingspan of about 3 centimeters and had the characteristic brown and white colors. I also saw blue spots on the tips of the hind wings. The morning sun allowed me to observe some translucency in them. Esta vez pude hallar detalles que antes no había visto. Medía unos 3 centímetros de envergadura y tenía los colores marrón y blanco característicos. También vi puntos azules en las puntas de las alas traseras. El sol de la mañana me permitió observar algo de translucidez en ellas. They always pose with their heads down, but, exceptionally, I was able to photograph them in a horizontal position. Posan siempre con la cabeza hacia abajo, pero, de manera excepcional, pude fotografiarla en posición horizontal. It is commonly called the yarumo zebra, perhaps because of the zebra-like stripes on the ventral side of its wings and the fact that it feeds on yarumo leaves. Le dicen comúnmente cebra del yarumo, tal vez por las rayas parecidas a las de una cebra en la cara ventral de sus alas y por el hecho de que se alimenta de hojas de yarumo This is a wild tree and we have had a specimen of it in the yard for a few months now. Este es un árbol silvestre y desde hace algunos meses tenemos un ejemplar de èl en el patio. All photos were taken by me with my Samsung Galaxy A 15 smartphone. Todas las fotos fueron tomadas por mí con mi teléfono inteligente Samsung Galaxy A 15. Thank you so much for stopping by and reading my post. Muchas gracias por detenerse y leer mi publicación.
