The name of these beautiful big white butterflies is called Paper Kite or Rice Paper Butterfly (Idea leuconoe clara) and the multicolor flower is called Spanish Flag (Latana camara).
Last weekend, we saw these butterflies with the colorful Spanish Flag during our visit to Flying Cow Ranch, which is about two hours drive south of Taipei. The "Flying" in the name of the farm is not referred to the cow but to the various kind of butterflies around its butterfly walk and greenhouse.
The butterfly is about 7 cm in size and moves elegantly. More importantly, it moves slowly, which makes the photographing process much easier.To see more Camera-Critters from around the world click here.

Really lovely, I absolutely adore the stripes on those butterflies. Very elegant. And I wish I could have a Spanish flag, somehow they always die on me.
