Waiter daggerwing, Tatama National Park, Colombia
This is the last photo in the set for Tatama National Park. It took me a whopping 3 months to describe our 3 days there. Here's the full set:
460Tatama National Park
To summarize the experience in this park: we came for the birds but were actually more impressed with everything else. For example the tiny orchids. The crazy insects. The stunning fungi. We used every waking hour in the day to explore the park for 3 days and in a way, it's still upsetting how much I had to skip.
Above all, Tatama changed my perspective on orchids. I've never been a plant person, they don't excite me much, so I could never really relate to things like orchid tours. Now I get it.
Next stop will be Bahia Solano, one of the wettest places on the planet.

''Marpesia zerynthia'', the waiter daggerwing, is a species of butterfly in the family Nymphalidae that occurs in, and somewhat north and south of Mesoamerica.
