The Blue Butterflies from Leafwings, Asteropes and Hamadryas


So the Polygrapha cyanea (first butterfly, Cyanea leafwing) is found in the Anaeini tribe like the butterfly to the right, of him the Memphis polyxo (Polyxo leafwing). The butterfly to the right of the Memphis is the Asterope leprieuri, also known as the Leprieur's glory. Then the last butterfly is the Hamadryas laodamia, or the Starry Night Cracker. They are called that because of the Cracking noises they make to scare off other male butterflies.
