Beautiful butterfly, lovely colours and structure of "ornament". Do not know anything about this special butterfly, but do you know what is "butterfly effect"? In chaos theory there is theoretical example of a hurricane's formation being contingent on whether or not a distant butterfly had flapped its wings several weeks earlier above the ocean.
It´s a nice phrase anyway.

Read about Monarch Butterflies story Katarina. It is still a mystery in many ways.

Is this the one famous for going about in massive flocks?
