🌹Rainbow Gerard (and Frank) as a Mother of Pearl Butterfly (Protogoniomorpha parhassus) !

Some facts about these butterflies:

The flight period of adult Mother of Pearl butterflies is year round, peaking in summer and autumn. They have a "ponderous, flapping flight which can be quite fast". The males may perch on the leaves of forest trees, while the females stay closer to the ground near the larval food plants. These butterflies roost under leaves at night, and the males sometimes mud-puddle !
