Description
I photographed this Cracker Butterfly at the Magic Wings Butterfly Garden in South Deerfield, Massachusetts late in September. If you love butterflies like I do than you will have to visit Magic Wings when you are in the New England area. It is the largest indoor butterfly garden and conservatory featuring gorgeous tropical plants, an indoor pond with a water fall, with 100's of butterflies from all over the world.

Fun Facts: Hamadryas is a species of cracker butterfly. The butterflies are commonly known as Crackers due to the ability of the males of several species to produce a sound similar to the crackling of bacon in a frying pan. There are 20 members of the genus Hamadryas. Most are found only in Central and South America. In several species the ground color is greyish and the pattern acts as an extremely effective camouflage against the bark of trees. In others such as amphinome, laodamia and velutina the wings are velvety black with a blue sheen and a pattern of bright blue spots.
