Hello friends of the Feelgood community. Look at this beautiful butterfly I found a few days ago among the vinca flowers..
Hola amigos de la comunidad Feelgood. Miren qué bonita mariposa conseguí hace días entre las flores de vinca.
I had gone out into the garden to take photos and, to my surprise, I saw this jumping butterfly with bright blue and green colors.
Había salido al jardín a tomar fotos y, para mi sorpresa, vi a esta saltarina con colores azul y verde brillantes.
It is a species that lives from the south of the United States to Argentina, but this is the first time I have seen it here.
Es una especie que habita desde el sur de Estados Unidos hasta Argentina, pero es primera vez que la veo aquí.
Jumping butterflies abound here, most of them with mainly brown and/or yellow hues.
Aquí abundan las mariposas saltarinas, la mayoría con tonalidades principalmente de marrón y/o amarillo.
It belongs to the Hesperiidae family and is also known as the "two-bar flash" or "Telegonus alardus".
Pertenece a la familia Hesperiidae y también recibe los nombres de "destello de dos barras" o "Telegonus alardus".
It has a wingspan of around 5 centimeters, light brown colors on its legs, antennae, head, ventral part of the thorax and abdomen, as well as part of its wings.
Tiene alrededor de 5 centímetros de envergadura, colores marrón claro en patas, antenas, cabeza, parte ventral de tórax y abdomen, al igual que en parte de las alas.
It lives in tropical forests and, as an adult, feeds on flower nectar, mainly from the Fabaceae family.
Vive en bosques tropicales y se alimenta en fase adulta de néctar de flores, principalmente de la familia fabaceae.
Once again, finding a new species in the garden brightened my day, and made me feel grateful.
Una vez más, el encontrar una especie nueva en el jardín alegró mi día, y me hizo sentir agradecida.
All photos were taken by myself with my Samsung Galaxy A 15 smartphone.
Todas las fotos fueron tomadas por mi misma con mi teléfono inteligente Samsung Galaxy A 15.
