The sky here in the Caribbean is bright blue and contrasts intensely with the lush green of the trees.
Night descends quickly and firmly; twilight doesn’t last long.
Sometimes it catches a fritillary butterfly unawares, seized in the efficient arrival of a confusing artificial light.
I carefully moved this sleepy little one to a nearby tree that was in the shadows.
Happy Wednesday.

This poor little butterfly seemed a bit stunned by the sudden arrival of lights after the darkness. I know that it’s best to move them to a better location in the dark. Thanks, Jacqui. Cheers.

what kind is it I wonder?

I think this could be a “white peacock” fritillary butterfly. Not completely sure but that’s about what I could figure out. Cheers.

I agree, Linda. We have the time (and brain space). We are very much having a relaxing time. I’m sleeping better than I have in a long while. Cheers.

Nice capture. Butterflies have very short life span.
