Plain palm dart butterfly | Cephrenes acalle

Hello everyone, good afternoon wherever you are, how are you this afternoon? Hope you are fine wherever you are.

I"m back here again and on this occasion I want to show some beautiful shots of the Cephrenes acalle butterfly or better known plain palm dart butterfly. This butterfly is one of the beautiful butterflies from the Hesperiidae family and this butterfly is also one of the butterflies that breeds on palm trees and coconut trees.

In terms of habitat, this butterfly is the same as other butterflies, namely it likes colorful flower gardens, grasslands, forests and so on. In essence, butterflies live close to green environments and colorful flowers. Butterflies like flowers because the flowers contain nectar that they can taste. The nectar found in flowers is the staple food for butterflies. Throughout their life they need nectar.

There are two most interesting things about this butterfly, namely its super fast flying technique and the pose it poses when heated. When sunbathing, the front wings are vertical and the hind wings are horizontal. This pose is very interesting, similar to a fighter plane landing at an airport. But unfortunately we can't enjoy this pose because when I met this beautiful butterfly it was walking on flowers looking for nectar.
