Fine art illustration of a Periander Metalmark Butterfly (Rhetus periander.) The illustration is available in black and white or color.

Artist’s notes:

The Periander Metalmark was completed on 4.14.2013. Sometimes I see an animal that just grab my attention with their beauty and uniqueness, and that alone makes me want to create a drawing of them. That is the case with this amazing looking butterfly. The color blue outside of birds and insects is not a common color in the animal kingdom, so I’m always happy to add a blue-colored animal. I was also looking to add a South American butterfly to the image library so I could create a gallery of Argentinean animals for my Facebook page.
