The Malachite butterfly (Siprotea stelenes) is found from Florida through the tropics of Central America. I managed to catch 3 while in Puerto Rico. These stunning butterflies perch on the tops of short trees and watch. Anytime you move, they seem to follow. It's quite cool! #butterfly #insect #entomology #butterfliesofinstagram #igclub_butterfly #malachite #malachitebutterfly #siproteastelenes

Going to share some photos I took while seeing #bloomingbutterflies at @olbrichgardens — these are beautiful Malachite butterflies. They can be found in the southeastern US ranging all the way down to Cuba. They are named appropriately as their color is as green as the mineral that is their namesake. 💚🦋 #malachitebutterfly #butterflies #butterfliesofinstagram #butterflies_lovers #lepidoptera (at Olbrich Botanical Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgvL7lttEBn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The inspiration for this piece is the Sphenoid bone. It's the bone found behind your eyes that helps to protect your brain. Sphenoid is refered to as a butterfly/wing shaped bone. 🦋 #traditionalpainting #acrylicpainting #anatomicalart #medicalart #malachitebutterfly #artistofinstagram #katpowellartist #surrealistart https://www.instagram.com/p/CRCIbc0hzDM/?utm_medium=tumblr
