A smaller butterfly at the Niagara Falls Conservatory

This butterfly was smaller than most of the others with similar colouration. It was nice to catch one in isolation like this, as at times it can be quite chaotic inside the Butterfly Conservatory.

Apologies for the extreme lateness of this PotD… we were unexpectedly delayed when we went out this afternoon, and it turned into an all-evening adventure.

I wish I could tell you the species of this butterfly, but I can’t. There are many of these at the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls, and many other species as well. When we got home from our trip I tried to figure out what was what but failed miserably when I found out how many species of butterflies there are there, and in the world… and how similar they can look.
