Ecuador Amazon – Malachite Butterfly
The Malachite (Siproeta stelenes) is a neotropical brush-footed butterfly. The malachite has large wings that are black and brilliant green or yellow-green on the upper sides and light brown and olive green on the undersides. It is named for the mineral malachite, which is similar in color to the bright green on the butterfly’s wings.
Beautiful!

This a superb photo, Ravi. May I ‘borrow’ it for a blog header for a while?
I shall reference you as the photographer, of course.
Ark, I would be honored. Please use it for your header.
Cheers. You can pop over to see it.
Ark, looks very nice on your site.
