I spotted this butterfly while on our way out of the Arinta falls during the April trip by tourmates to Ekiti State, Nigeria.
So sorry it doesn't get clearer with a zoom.I guess it was because I took the shot while doing a video. WOuld be sure to take a more fcused one when next I'm chanced to.

Wow! Green butterfly. That's pretty rare!
Yeah bro. I noticed too haha. Thanks for showing up here bro.
Oh no. It's not a happy colour combination. This butterfly looks almost like the plant's leaves. It's wearing the plants colour. I have heard of plants mutating to produce butterfly looking flowers/petals so as to attract butterflies/birds that will help in pollinating them. Plants are like humans. Remember the flesh eating plant - Venus fly trap.
But never have I heard of butterflies that mutate to look like their environment. Only Chameleons do that. Unless nature, through mutation has given them this ability as a protective mechanism. Sad there is no study to back this up. I mean none that I know of.
Well, with this we can begin to wonder about nature and it's endless possibilities . The pix will fit a nice scientific study. Smiles.
Thanks for all your wonderful and thoughtful steems.
A comment that blows me away again!It was at the point of taking the picture that I noticed the marriage with the leaves too. It's an interresting one and only regretable but not much regret is the fact that I didn't take the shot without being between a video recording. Thanks bro for your comment. You seem like a science inclined person.
Its a wow and rare pic...
