Very few adult butterflies have been found in Dominican amber, and all those, including this one, belong to the metalmark family. Small and speckled, this orange-brown butterfly may have mistaken a patch of resin on an algarrobo tree for a tasty pool of sap. The sticky resin would have instantly immobilized its wings, which possessed nowhere near the strength needed to lift away. |
