Pale Sulphur Butterflies "Puddling" with Apricot Sulfur Butterflies in the Pantanal Butterflies "puddling" (gathering in small to large groups in an area of moist bare earth where they suck up the fluids) is one of the iconic images of the Amazon or Pantanal. There was an almost constant butterfly puddle outside of our first lodge near the Pantanal. I was thrilled and we even made a video of my wife dancing among the butterflies as they all spiral up and arund her. A mini-sectacle of nature that everyone should experience.

    Such scenes are wonderful. Strangely, very often it is exactly two types of species grouping together. I was most impressed in Sri Lanka with the sheer quality of butterflies. Our jeep would often stir up entire clouds of butterflies, I've never seen so many of them. Posted 8 years ago
