Ruby Lacewing

I visited Butterfly Creek in Auckland last year and this beauty caught my eye as it was prancing about in the sunlight on the Peace Lily Plant. I felt it was performing just for my camera.

This Ruby Lacewing species is widespread through northern India to China, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.

They are known as lacewings due to the unique pattern of their wings.

A butterfly of the rainforest, they are mostly seen along the forest edge or along tracks through the rain-forest. The elegant bright orange adults are thought to be distasteful to predators.

A very delicate composition! These peace lilies must be a favourite nectar source. I notice they are used in butterfly houses up here.
Excellent composition

Hi Janice

What a lovely photo of this superbly captured butterfly and flower.

I am still "discovering" more and more wonderful galleries of TL photographers and I came across yours after your very nice comment on my Blue Crane photo. I will for sure be back soon for another look! It is an honour to get such a wonderful comment from an experienced photographer. You are an inspiration to me and someone that I canlearn a lot from!

Kind regards

Wia
