This is a male red lacewing butterfly native to Central India, the Philippines, China, and Nepal to Thailand. The bright colors on the top of the red lacewing tell potential predators that the butterfly has a bad taste and discourages them from eating it.The lacy pattern on the underside of the wings give this butterfly its name. Many of the butterflies at the exhibit at the Chicago Botanic Garden liked to sit on large stones throughout the exhibit or even on the ground. Care needed to be taken when walking about. (My thanks again to Connie (Constance 53247)who gave me a link that helped me find more sources to identify the butterflies I shot)

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
A pretty butterfly..but is he really a male?!? Those brilliant colors and patterns are most certainly there to attract the females and scare away the predators. Well done, Kathy.

Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")
Kathy, this 'red lacewing' seems not to be hungry, as I can't see its proboscis, Kathy. Stones aren't edible, but slices of banana though. They are fond of it.
Very good butterfly capture my friend!
