Slow posting this week, but here is Taygetis thamyra (probably) resting in Costa Rica. Why does it only have four legs? The Thamyra Satyr is a member of the insect family Nymphalidae, or the 'brush-footed butterflies,' all of which have very small front legs. The Nymphalidae is the most species rich family of butterflies, and includes the familiar Painted Lady, Blue Morpho, and Monarch butterflies.
