Fine Art Print

Julia Heliconian, Antennae Raised

Julia heliconian wings open, antennae raised forward in the species' characteristic alert posture. The wings carry a fine dusting of scales — visible at macro distance as a soft granular surface that scatters light differently than smooth pigment would. The trailing wing-edge serration is visible along the margins. Tropical greenhouse, Amsterdam.
