A work in progress…

Original acrylic painting of Heliconia latispatha which is a host plant of the Forest Giant Owl Butterfly (Caligo eurilochus.) Native to southern Mexico, Central America and northern South America. The Honduran White Bat also uses Heliconia for shelter- they chew the midrib of a leaf until a portion of the end of a leaf flops over and use the protected space beneath to roost.
