Metalmark butterfly
This small butterfly is in the Metalmark family, from South America. This is a view from underneath, showing the two-tone metallic blue and bright red spots on the hindwings.
A friend of mine and long-time Flickr user suggested I post some of my pictures on Flickr. I get to work with some of the most incredible insects in the world while supporting preservation of tropical rainforest habitat. To see more of the butterflies I work with, you can visit my butterfly artwork web site at www.truebutterflies.com
