This tiny butterfly just landed on my hand inside Casa Mellifera one morning a few days ago. It was my first time seeing this pretty specimen so I took pictures of it. And boy was it cooperative with our little pictorial. I had many pix and vids that I tried to let it fly away. But everytime I shook it off my hand it kept coming back at the exact same spot…on my hand. Finally it left my hand and went to my face! Hehe.
I posted about it in the butterfly group and they identified it as a male Straight Pierrot or Caleta roxus.
My uncle who was with me believed it was his late wife and that made him happy…me too. 😌🦋
