Belize Fauna Fotodoc (4) | Insects
Enjoy a collection of my wildlife/insect photography in Belize and learn about these animals at the same time.
These photos are from part 4 of a 4 part photo-documentary I led in Belize in the summer of 2021.
- Part 1: Mammals
- Part 2: Birds
- Part 3: Reptiles
- Part 4: Insects
The documentary was aimed to focus on the trash and pollution in Belize and how this affects the wildlife. Unfortunately the documentary was effectively put on pause after a series of personal tragedies unfolded.
Many of the photos remained unedited and unpublished. This 4 part series of the wildlife photo-pairs I captured on digital-film will hopefully start to rectify this delay.
Above: Two-Banded Satyr [Pareuptychia ocirrhoe]
“With about 2400 members this sub-family comprises about half of the brush-footed butterflies (Nymphalidae). As with many members of that family, this satyr has only four functional legs.
Satyrs like this one often have eye-spots on their wings, but species living in temperate regions are usually quite dully colored.” — Richard Seaman
