This is:

Apatura iris, aka purple emperor, aka batolec duhový

Fun fact!

They change colors based on the angle the light hits their wings! They are actually brown, but can shift between purple and metallic blue. What a gorgeous critter!

A rainbow of moths and butterflies I’ve drawn this year!

Also there won’t be art for a while- I’ve broken my dominant arm and cannot draw for a month while it heals up.

Thank you so much for the love on the bug drawings!

They're going to the FNAF movie REAL (guess who's idea it was)
