Great picture, it is disguised just enough to require careful looking!
Precious ! Fascinating :)
They are very interesting creatures. There see through wings are like the dragonflies.
Beautiful transparent wings. And it almost mimics the surroundings as a camouflage.
Hi @discernente they are difficult to spot and are also quite small. 👍
They look pretty small, hard to find?
@eoincurran I came around a corner inside Butterfly World and just happened to look down when I saw them otherwise I could easily have walked past. I was very excited to have seen these fascinating creatures that I never new existed. Both them and the Blue Morpho were my favorite.
brilliant! I've never seen one before.
@mysticlilly16 as a photographer you can imagine my surprise as neither had I seen one before until I visited Butterfly World.
great, is it in Cape town?
I've only been by the butterfly place in Pietermaritzburg.
It's on Klapmuts which is quite a distance outside CT. If you click on the google map link in the post it will show you where it is @ mysticlilly16
thanks will hit google ;-)
Love it!
Cheers
