Black and white beauty

Black and white beauty
I was just magnetized by this amazingly beautiful black and white butterfly at the Calgary Zoo yesterday afternoon. It's only a small butterfly, but I just love the smart abstract pattern. I've been trying to find an ID for this on Google, but unlucky so far : )

I think this is a Dirce Beauty Colobura (Colobura dirce), which is a butterfly of the Nymphalidae family. It is found in Central America and the Northern parts of South America. The length of the fore-wings is about 33 mm.

How very cool!! And you caught it wonderfully against that blue background.

I don't normally put insects into my group 'my favorite animals' - but I'd love to have this there. If you want.
