Lucy is so excited to have raised these guys and she even took them into the bathroom, closed the toilet and put a towel in the sink and took them out to play with them. They got some "free time" to learn to fly around and see what a big space was going to be like before being turned loose in the world. She will turn just about anything into a pet if she could....

Sipreota stelenes. The beautiful Malachite can be found from Florida through Central America to South America. Named for the lovely colors on their wings, Malachites feed on flowers and fruits. The colors and patterns on the wings of the Malachite are sometimes compared to stained glass.
