Crimson Rose Butterfly

  Oil painting of the endangered butterfly Crimson Rose.  8x 10 inch on Gessobord.  Framed.

The Crimson Rose, native to Sri Lanka, is a black butterfly with two white bands on the forewing and two rows of bright crimson patches on the hindwing. This butterfly inhabits open vegetation preferring scrublands especially during the dry season. It is occasionally seen in the low country wet zone but never in large numbers. Very rarely some can be seen at higher elevations in migratory flight. Shrinking habitat is the biggest threat.
