Blue Morpho Butterfly Flying Low Near Vientiane Trail

by Lucille Fields

Vibrant electric blue wings flash against the muted greens of a damp game trail in Vientiane. The butterfly hovers inches above the muddy earth, its iridescent scales catching the harsh tropical afternoon sun that pierces through the wet season clouds. Tiny water droplets rest on the surrounding ferns and fallen leaves, glistening under the bright light. A fine mist hangs in the air, softening the background vegetation into a blur of deep greens and browns. The low angle emphasizes the fragile size of the insect against the towering grasses. One raindrop slides down a broad leaf in the foreground, catching a sharp highlight of white light.
