Erynnis ello
Most of the daytime (diurnal) butterflies were either hard to get close to, were restlessly fluttering around never to settle down more than a blink of an eye, or never opened their wings when resting. With only two days on Roraima, I simply didn’t have time to be patiently waiting for the right moment. When [...]
Cisseps fulvicollis
I’m not certain this is a butterfly (Lepidoptera), so any correction is welcome. I only saw this amazingly colored insect only once on my trek to an from Roraima, and this was close to the base camp on the way up. I was unable to get very close before it took off, so quality is [...]
Vanessa myrinna
This was the third and most common of three species of butterflies that were seen around the path to and from Roraima. It was seen on the path or on rocks close by the path. If disturbed it was quick to mov back and reclaim its territory.
Hesperiidae
This was the second of three species of butterflies that were seen around the path to and from Roraima. It had the strange abillity to curl the wings downwards and round when the sun came out. Other butterflies simply open or close their (straight) wings. This butterfly preferred to be amongst the grass. Help me [...]
West Indian Buckeye (Junonia evarete)
On the open grassland that is the savanna (Sabana), there are few birds and a lot of insects – ants and termites in particular. Only a select few butterflies are territorial and also not easily disturbed by either flashlight or careful human movements. This was one of three species that were seen around the path [...]
Automeris sp
While the other trekkers were happy to see the Tok river camp, I found this incredible caterpillar and simply had to stop and enjoy this remarkable creature. What does it look like as a butterfly? Many butterflies that are colorful as caterpillars are dull and inconspicuous as adults, but life is full of exceptions. If [...]
Octauius Swordtail (Chorinea octauius)
In one of the few areas the Pyro indians (Pemon) had not eradicated the forest by fire, I saw this incredible butterfly by the side of the road. I got one shot before it took off. The forested areas, and those around the streams in particular, have a rich diversity of butterflies. Unfortunately I did [...]
Gran Sabana butterfly 027
My first night on the Sabana at Kamoiran lodge was a fantastic surprise in butterfly diversity. The walls were crowded with various nocturnal insects drawn in by the artificial light. Some with shapes and colors that truly amazed me. I have not yet been able to classify them, so just numeric by observation for now. [...]
