Decided To Add In The Image Id As A Means Of “”“”justifying“”“” Reblogging This Cause Describing Things Is Nice - Blog Posts

[Start ID. A close-up photo of one titular Provence Hairstreak perched on a rock. It is a butterfly only a couple centimeters long, with one of its big black eyes visible and lined in white, thin clubbed antennae striped black-and-white, and large, generally brown wings, with black spots amid a patch of orange on the forewing. Its most notable feature, though, is the ludicrously fluffy appearance of its front half: long setae the color of verdigris almost completely take over its head, thorax and abdomen, and the green hairs extend to its femurs and half of the hindwings. The white speckles dotting the green wings contribute to an overall fairy-like appearance. End ID.]
