One of the beautiful, larger butterflies on dispay in the Enmax Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo a couple of days ago. Sorry I'm posting so many Zoo images at the moment. I know some of you are not too interested in nature that's not wild, but I'm just not getting many photos of wild things at the moment.

Spent the morning walking in the woods at Bebo Grove, Fish Creek Park, looking at Lichens with friends - no idea how I will ever learn the names and be able to ID them, LOL. I must admit I prefer fungi, but those won't be growing for ages yet! The rest of the day has been rainy and snowy - and cold!

"Siproeta epaphus is a New World butterfly that lives all year in tropical habitats. It has large wings, averaging 10 cm/3.9 in, that are black on the center and brown on the undersides. S. epaphus is found throughout Central America, where it is one of the most common butterfly species. Its distribution extends from southern North America to northern South America." From Wikipedia.
