January 16 - Vaqueros and more trek photos

We went grocery shopping  to Las Varas.

Vaquero

Nice little mule

Other than that a laid back day so here are more photos from yesterdays trek.

Malachite butterfly

This lovely creature feeds on flower nectar, rotting fruit, dead animals, and bat dung. 

It's bright green colours fade with exposure to sunlight, luckily this guy likes shade.

 Mexican Cotton and a Passionfruit Vine

Gossypium hirsutum, also known as upland cotton or Mexican cotton, is the most widely grown variety of cotton in the U.S.   It is native to Mexico.

This Julia butterfly has caterpillars that feed on the Passion flowers.

Numerous Julia's on the passionfruit.

This passionfruit was soft and "cushiony".

Along the way, Amber the poodle sought after crabs
