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.
