The Paper Kite Butterfly (Idea leuconoe) is an eye catching black and white beauty. The way the light shines through the wings is amazing and looks like stained glass if there are other colors around it. It is a high flyer that spends hours gliding in gentle circles high up in the forest canopy. One interesting characteristic with this species is that it can turn its head from side to side. Before it takes off, it looks up to where its going. It is known especially for its presence in butterfly greenhouses and live butterfly expositions. They are also called Tree Nymph, Wood Nymph and Rice Paper butterflies. @ Weng Mallari Manila, Philippines
