The Malachite (Siproeta stelenes), too Pearly Malachite, is a neotropical brush-footed butterfly.
The beautiful Malachite is distributed from Peru, Argentina and Bolivia through northern South America, Central America, Mexico and the West Indies to southern Florida and South Texas.
The Malachite is a widespread and common species found in a wide variety of habitats including lowland primary rainforest, mid-elevation cloudforest and deciduous forests, usually in the vicinity of rivers at altitudes between about 100-1200m.
The malachite has large wings that are black and brilliant green or yellow-green on the uppersides and light brown and olive green on the undersides. It is named for the mineral malachite, which is similar in color to the bright green on the butterfly's wings. The wingspread is typically between 8.5 and 10 cm.
This picture had been taken in the butterfly house "Vlindervallei" (Butterfly Valley), part of the "Orchideeënhoeve" (Orchid Farm) in Luttelgeest, the Netherlands.
De malachietvlinder (Siproeta stelenes) is een Midden- en Zuid-Amerikaanse dagvlinder.
De vlinder komt algemeen voor van Peru, Bolivia en noord Argentinië tot in Mexico, Zuid-Florida en Zuid-Texas. De malachietvlinder leeft in verschillende leefomgevingen tussen 100 en 1200 meter, maar geeft de voorkeur aan regenwouden, meestal in de nabijheid van rivieren. Ook bezoekt de malachietvlinder graag bloemrijke omgevingen en boomgaarden, waar de vlinder rottend fruit eet.
De naam malachiet komt van het licht bruine tot olijfgroene mineraal waar de onderzijde van de vleugels op lijkt. De bovenzijde van de vleugels zijn zwart met groene of geelgroene vlekken. De vleugelspanwijdte is 8,5 à 10 centimeter.
Deze opname is gemaakt in de Vlindervallei, deel van de Orchideeënhoeve in Luttelgeest (Flevoland, Noordoostpolder). ( www.orchideeenhoeve.nl )

Kellie Castle is now run by the National Trust for Scotland but was originaly restored by the sculptor Hew Lorimer and family and many of his sculptures can still be see in his original studio in the castle. The beautiful garden is run organically and I think that there is only one main gardener who maintains it. A hard job without using weed-killer.
Seen in Explore at #404 on 28th July.
Popped into the rough ground at the end of my road this evening, on the off chance there might be something interesting - and found my first beautiful demoiselles of the year!
Beautiful Speightstown, Barbados.
Speightstown was formally settled around 1630 and in the earliest days of Settlement was Barbados's busiest port. Ships laden with sugar and other commodities left Speightstown bound directly for London and especially Bristol. For this reason Speightstown is sometimes known as Little Bristol. The quaint town has now become the centre of a tourist area as well as a secondary shopping centre.
The area of Speightstown was the first major port and commercial centre of Barbados. The city is named after William Speight, a member of Barbados' first Assembly during the colonial years as well as the former land owner where the city is located. It has a long and colorful history reaching back to the 17th century when it served as one of the main ports connecting the island with the “mother country,” England. Back then Speightstown was sometimes called “Little Bristol” because of these trading connections with Bristol in England. This little village was the port that Ayscue could not take, when dispatched by Cromwell to quell the insurrection in Barbados in 1649. The Barbadians were loyal to Charles I, and would not accept Oliver Cromwell as their protector. For six months Ayscue was unable to land in Barbados, and concentrated attacks on Speightstown were repelled by the small forts along the shore.
The tiny island was landed only with the help of a defector who led Ayscue and his men to land at Oistins Town where they met with representatives of the island and signed what has become known as the "Charter of Barbados". Signed in 1652, the agreement gave Barbados rights and privileges unheard of in any other Island. In particular it guaranteed that Barbados could not be taxed without the consent of a Barbados General Assembly.

I have just returned from my overseas trip to the US, and finally get a chance to look at my photos! (even though slightly jet lagged). This is from the Yosemite Valley, and is beautiful at sunset when the sun lights up rock faces and you can watch the shadows get larger and larger. I met a great guy called Matt here. Half an hour earlier there were clouds in the sky which we watched slowly disappear!
