@panaceaphantastica submitted: Friends I always find at this part of the trail! The trees are full of Jaca at this time of the year and they seem to be really attracted to the ones that fall and start rotting. I wonder how they manage the glue that comes out of the fruit. More from Ilhabela Island, Brazil.

Beautiful! Butterflies definitely love rotting fruit. And sometimes rotting animals, too. Yum. I'm unfamiliar with that fruit so I couldn't say how they manage the uh, glue...

Common Morpho (Morpho peleides)

Morphos are blue internally and brown with eyespots externally but if you get light to pass through their wings, you get to see both sides simultaneously!
