Parthenos Sylvia

[JimFox]

Before heading back to California, I got a chance to spend a few hours in the Butterfly Pavillion in Denver after watching 2 of my granddaughters in a Dance competition. The butterflies seemed to have been dancing as well as they rarely seem to stop and rest. Here is one that I captured.

I think I ID'd it correctly as Parthenos Sylvia.

Stunning colors on this specimen. Great pose on the fern as well. Looks like a neat place to visit.

Thanks Trent! It had been cloudy, but the sun poked through the clouds and the skylights so it was cool to see it lighting up the butterfly for a few moments.

Thanks Alan. It's a fun place for sure! It can get a bit noisy as there are always families there as well, but it's worth it to see all of the butterflies.

Nice colorful butterfly. Sounds like a fun place to capture them. Reminds me of the Butterfly gardens in Victoria, BC.
