Rice Paper Butterfly 2.14.2023
On Valentine's Day, David and I went to the LI Riverhead Aquarium... what a fantastic day to spend indoors and outside.... this aquarium is top notch!!
Being in the butterfly house is like being in a Disney movie... they flutter all around you... all different varieties... this is the Rice Paper Butterfly...
I couldn't stop myself from clicking, so putting them in collages is the easiest way to share their beauty!!
Sadly, living indoors, they only live about 1-2 weeks... you can see many are frayed and almost at the end of their life...
Idea leuconoe, also known as the paper kite butterfly, rice paper butterfly, large tree nymph,[1] or in Australia the white nymph butterfly,[2] is a butterfly known especially for its presence in butterfly houses and live butterfly expositions. It has a wingspan of 12 to 14 cm. The paper kite is of Southeast Asian origin, but can also be found in Northern Australia and Southern Taiwan.
