The butterfly that I chose is a rather unique looking one. It is called the 88 butterfly (Callicore).
Species in this genus are commonly called “eighty-eights like the related genera Callicore and Perisama, in reference to the characteristic patterns on the hindwing undersides of many. In Diaethria, the pattern consists of black dots surrounded by concentric white and black lines and typically looks like the numbers “88†or “89â€.
Callicore is a genus of nymphalid butterfly found in the Neotropical Ecozone. This genus, like some related ones, was formerly lumped together as the paraphyletic Catagramma assemblage.
Species in this genus are commonly called eighty-eights or numberwings like the related genera Diaethria and Perisama, in reference to the characteristic patterns on the hindwing undersides of many. In Callicore, the pattern consists of bluish dots surrounded by black and looks more like "αB" or "8°", though some members of this genus have a completely different arrangement of dots. The forewing undersides vary little between species, being black with one or two broad orange-yellow bands in the basal part and one thin and one very faint yellowish band near the apex.
C. hydarnis is listed as endangered species in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
I hope you found the information and pictures of this unique butterfly interesting.
Swallowtail butterflies are large, colorful butterflies in the family Papilionidae, and include over 550 species. Though the majority are tropical, members of the family inhabit every continent except Antarctica.

I picked a beautiful butterfly I have learned about here in the BUTTERFLY LOVERS GROUP thru the pictures in a bingo game ;-)
The butterfly's most common English name is glasswinged butterfly, and its Spanish name is "mariposa de cristal", which means "crystal butterfly". The tissue between the veins of its wings looks like glass, as it lacks the colored scales found in other butterflies. HERE IS A LINK WITH MANY MORE BEAUTIFUL PICTURES
Did you know there are butterfly farmers all over the world? Some butterflies are raised for mass release at special events like weddings. Others, to help conserve the species. But once released, all butterflies join the wild population and help increase the numbers.
The Painted Lady is a popular butterfly for farming.
Research has revealed that the Panted Lady makes an epic intergenerational journey each year spanning thousands of miles from Africa to the Arctic and back again. Much like our beloved Monarchs.

Summer is coming to an end and with it, so is grilling season. One thing I enjoy about summer is grilling on the special holidays and sometimes in between as well. I will miss it once Fall arrives and the cooler weather arrives as well. But there is always next year!
I hope you like the pics and gifs that I have chosen for you!
