This is a pastel chopped drawing that I didn't on drawing paper.  II found a nice photograph of this butterfly and decided to draw it because it looks so nice.  It was a very fun project and didn't take a long time to complete.  

The Ulysses butterfly is one of Tropical North Queensland’s most distinctive and unique butterfly species. They are considered to be one of the most elusive butterflies and can be very hard to take photographs of.  Their bright blue coloring makes them easy to spot by their predators, so they fly very quickly and erratically to protect themselves.

The Ulysses butterfly is found in most tropical rain forest areas such as Northern Queensland, Northern islands of Australia and Papua New Guinea and lives below the rain forest canopy.

The Ulysses wing span is between 100 and 130 mm.  When it is a caterpillar it is green and white which is the same color as the plants they feed on. This provides excellent camouflage from predators.
