Regal hairstreak (Evenus regalis) Jardin Botanico Dr. Alfredo Barrera Marin, Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo. Jul 15, 2017.<br /> A gorgeous little butterfly. I spotted it by pure luck. It flew by as I was taking a photo of a flower, landed just long enough for me to take that shot, and then was gone.

      I agree! I love all these small butterflies with several small tails, but the iridescent colors on this one are just incredible! Posted 7 years ago
