Greetings Moon and Flap and everyone else...this beauty eclosed this morning (April 11th) after 15 days in its chrysalis...i was overwhelmed, given the history. Here is a photo of the butterfly. The caterpillar is Opsiphanes boisduvalii (Orange Owlet). I didn't get a photo of the outer wings, but i did get a peek and the wings are light orange with no stripes (which is one way to distinguish it from the O. tamarindi) and a black dot and a smaller white dot on the uppermost part of each wing. I was happy to see such a strong and healthy butterfly. I am leaving some juicy pieces of orange out if she/he should return to the garden. I hope it is a female. I hope she comes back with some eggs. I hope she or he likes the orange. Thanks for your help. :-D
