Description
The bright blue stripes and white spots of the Whitened Bluewing butterfly make this beauty stand out in American woodlands and jungles.
From the Rio Grande in Texas to the jungles of northern South America, these beautiful insects close their wings to blend into their environment. Closed wings resemble tree trunks. However, when they open their striking blue-black and white wings, it warns would-be predators to pass on these toxic beauties.
A butterfly with striking black, white, and blue patterns on its wings rests on a tree trunk. The background shows a blurred, green, and natural setting.
