Tree Nymph

Tree Nymph - Common name

Nymphalidae - Family

Idea leuconoe - Genus & Species

 

This pretty Tree Numph landed in the water. I informed one of the volunteers and she fetched it out of the water with a long pole and net.

The poor wet Nymph had to dry out before she could move again.

Come face-to-face with exotic, vibrant butterflies fluttering atop a lush tropical canvas of foliage and flowers as you experience the Butterfly Rainforest, the Florida Museum of Natural History's newest permanent exhibit. The screened vivarium houses subtropical and tropical plants and trees to support 55 to 65 different species and hundreds of free-flying butterflies. Guests can stroll through the Butterfly Rainforest on a winding path and relax to the sounds of cascading waterfalls year-round.
