Araschnia levana f. levana belongs to the Nymphalidae family and has a wingspan of about 32 mm (spring generation) and 38 - 43 mm (summer generation). The summer generation looks very different from the spring generation. The species occurs in many parts of Europe and temperate Asia as far east as Korea and Japan.

Danaus plexippus nigrippus / Andean Monarch butterfly)
The Andean subspecies nigrippus differs from the North American subspecies plexippus in several ways. In nigrippus the ground colour is a darker and duller brown; the upper half of the fw cell is black; the diagonal band of sub-apical spots are white instead of pale brown; and the black lines along the veins are heavier. The forewing shape in nigrippus also tends to be less elongated.
Danaus plexippus nigrippus is found on both sides of the Andes from Colombia to central Peru.

Encontrei essa bela borboleta repousando sobre uma folha que acredito ser de uma bromélia. Estava muito tranquila permitindo assim grande aproximação e com isso favorecendo a utilização da técnica de empilhamento de foco em campo. Algumas fotos finais foram perdidas pois a borboleta resolveu voar e partiu.
Empilhamento de foco feito com 52 fotografias usando luz mista (natural+flash) combinadas posteriormente com o programa Combine ZP.

This tree-top dweller is not usually spotted at eye level so this was a special treat to see it up close perched low in a ray of sunshine in a dark forest.
About twenty species of Adelpha fly in Mexico and thru Central America down to Panama. Only two of the neotropical genus Adelpha may be sporadically seen in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas.
This gorgeous butterfly is (regrettably) sometimes bred for show and may be seen in butterfly zoos. I only photograph butterflies in the wild and this individual is wild and was photographed in its natural habitat.
