Matching

Perhaps the butterfly chose this cap because it reflected the color in its wings!

The man in the background is the door monitor who allows visitors into a sort of vestibule and checks to make sure they aren’t carrying out any butterflies attached to their clothing or hair. He was impressed at my picture of the blue morpho (towards the beginning of the gallery) because he said they rarely rest anywhere, and almost never with their wings open.

Pretty wings, posted earlier:
