Description
Diaphanous means light, delicate, and translucent, and that seemed the perfect title for this delicate paper kite butterfly. The capture is a back lit side view of the beautiful insect sipping nectar from a yellow flower. This butterfly is also known as a rice paper or large tree nymph. It is from Southeast Asia but this specimen was photographed in a butterfly pavilion in the United States.
