- Cover photo description:
- This is an Hamadryas genus butterfly, Nymphalidae family. Known as cracker butterflies, due to the cracking sound produced by males as part of their territorial displays. This genus of butterflies are commonly found throughout South America to Arizona. They always perch upside down in the trees, boulders, and other such surfaces against which they are camouflaged. Unlike most butterflies, these species don t feed on nectar. Instead, cracker butterflies feed on rotting fruit, sap from leguminous trees, and animal dung. This beautiful butterfly was observed near Maya Biosphere Reserve (MBR), Petén, northern Guatemala. Population and distribution threatened by climate change.
