Description

The Idea leuconoe butterfly, commonly known as the paper kite butterfly, rice paper butterfly, or large tree nymph, is a stunning species renowned for its ethereal beauty and graceful presence. With wings spanning up to several inches across, it commands attention with its delicate yet striking appearance.

The wings of the paper kite butterfly are translucent and feature a soft, creamy-white colouration, reminiscent of fine rice paper, from which it derives one of its common names. Along the edges, elegant black markings create a stark contrast, adding to its allure. These markings often extend into intricate patterns, resembling delicate veins or brushstrokes, enhancing its artistic charm.

In flight, the paper kite butterfly moves with a gentle, fluttering grace, as if dancing on the air. Its unhurried movements and elegant demeanour captivate onlookers, evoking a sense of wonder and serenity.

I have taken this photograph in Butterfly Conservatory in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada a few years ago.
