Musical Wings: Capturing the Essence of the Piano Key Butterfly
I took this photo at Butterfly World in Coconut Creek, Florida, and I'd like to thank Lexi Theberge for her assistance in identifying this gorgeous butterfly; she works at this site.
The Piano Key butterfly, also known as Heliconius melpomene, is a beautiful species found in Mexico, as well as throughout Central and South America. Its distinctive black and white markings on the bottom of its hind wings resemble the keys of a piano.
