Description
Listen carefully as this butterfly makes crackling sounds when announcing it’s territory. It is said to sound like a cracker crumbling hence its common name.
Having tortoise-shell like, heavily patterned wings, the Guatemalan Cracker blends beautifully with the tree bark or boulders on which it rests. Hamadryas guatemalena, Cracker butterfly, is native to Mexico, Central America and northern South America.
This detailed butterfly rests on a green plant, displaying an intricate pattern of spots and lines on its wings. The sunlight highlights the butterfly's delicate structure and the fresh leaves it sits upon.
