Arizona Sister Butterfly – Signed Fine Art Print
$19.95 – $27.95
Information about the Arizona Sister Butterfly:
Adelpha is a genus of brush-footed butterflies, commonly called the sisters found in southern USA and Mexico to South America. While it is similar to the California Sister, there are some notable differences. These insects can be found in shady canyons of the Sonoran Desert, where they feed on tree sap. Unlike other butterflies, they generally do not feed from the nectar of flowers.

Artist’s notes:
The Arizona Sister Butterfly was completed on 1.11.2011. It’s always something of a puzzle when illustrating a butterfly – the obvious choice of angle is from above looking down on the wings spread open. But in some species, that’s not the most attractive portion of the insect. As the case in the California Sister when the wings are closed up, some beautiful coloration can be seen. The drawing is based on a photo by Bill Bouton.
