[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Today’s post is a Mexican Cycadian (Eumaeus toxea) a member of the Lycaenidae family. They have a wingspan of 5cm (2 in) and are distributed through Central America from northern Mexico to Honduras. Cycads are the host plant for the caterpillar of this species and they are found in tropical broad-leaved woodland and forest.
I found this one in the Biotopo Cerro Cahui natural reserve along a 7 km loop walk. I was very dull, so flash was required to get a result.

Hello Chris,
What an amazing dark beauty.. how beautiful this little butterfly is! Must be one of the first presentation of this cute species.
Very pleasant composition divided in two equal parts by the diagonal taken leaf. Very well done!
Kind regards
Anne

Hi Chris,

Lovely macro capture of the adorable black colored butterfly!
The textures on teh wings ae very well defined and perfectly shown. The natural colors of the butterfly are also very well shown. The sharpness and POV are superb, and the green leaf gives great contrast to the this dark beauty. The note on the picture is informative.
Very well seen!

thanks and regards,
Paras Bhalla

Hi Chris!

Spectacular picture of this neotropical lycaenidae, a fascinating and exotical species with very special colors. Always it is difficult to photograph these insects, me seems that the result is good and with details enough appreciable. It is not the EXIF, but it seems that used flashbulb and that has been very suitable. Good work, congratulations!
