Blue Triangle Butterfly - A Closer View
Blue Triangle Butterfly – A Closer View
This little fellow was really enjoying his dips in the water at Twin Falls, Cape York Peninsula, Far North Queensland.
Blue Triangle Butterfly (Graphium sarpedon choredon)
Its wings are black to dark brown in colour with a large blue area in the middle. Those blue patterns join to make a triangle, hence the name “The Blue Triangle”.
The underside patterns of their wings are similar, except for the red spots on the hind wings.

This is stunning, the colours are wonderful and I LOVE blue Butterflies :)) I am a littel envious I have to admit ;)
Unfortunately I do remember seeing one before – behind a glass case – if only these “collectors” of fine specimens had known then what we know now!

Congratulations on your well earned feature in “Australian Bush and Rainforest Photography”. These Blue Triangles are usually hard to shoot and are constantly on the moove! Was this on on a salt lick?
