8 URANIA LEILUS butterflies under high heels globe
IN295
In Ffrench It is called the Green Chinese, perhaps because of the two white sticks that it has at the end of the hind wings (But this is not its name in English: green banded urania ) Yet Urania Leilus lives in Central and South America. Its caterpillar feeds on poisonous euphorbias, making it unsuitable for consumption by birds. This globe "on high heels" is filled with a magnificent flight of these intense green butterflies on a black background: a perfect camouflage to fl over rivers in tropical forests.
