Clipper

The Clipper (Parthenos sylvia) is a butterfly found in South and South-East Asia. The wingspan is 70 to 80 mm. The Clipper comes in 33 subspecies and many colour variations of the wings; running from green in India to blue in Malaysia, brown in the Philippines and yellowish in Queensland (Australia).
The subspecies in the picture is Parthenos sylla apicalis from Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.
The clipper is one of the most photogenic butterfly species, due not only to its beauty, but to the pose its members often strike. Clipper butterflies have a habit of resting or feeding on flower nectar open-winged for long periods of time. The sound and the flash of cameras pass by these models unnoticed, and not an antennae or wing flutters out of place.
This picture is taken in the indoor butterfly garden Passiflorahoeve in Harskamp, the Netherlands.

De klipper (Parthenos Sylvia) is een dagvlinder en wordt gevonden in zuid-en zuidoost-Azië. De clipper komt voor in 33 ondersoorten en even zoveel kleurvariaties van de vleugels; die loopt van groen in India naar blauw in Maleisië, en van bruin in de Filippijnen en tot geelachtig in Queensland (Australië).
De ondersoort op de foto is Parthenos sylla apicalis uit Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodja en Vietnam.
De vleugelspanwijdte varieert tussen de 70 en 80 mm.
De klipper is een van de meest fotogenieke vlindersoorten. Niet alleen door haar schoonheid, maar vooral ook zoals zij zich laat zien. De klippers hebben de gewoonte om te rusten en te eten van de nectar van de bloemen door lange tijd de vleugels zonder te wapperen open te houden. Het eventuele flitslicht en het geluid van de camera’s lijkt onopgemerkt aan deze vlinders voorbij te gaan.
Deze foto is gemaakt in de overdekte tropische vlindertuin van zorgboerderij www.passiflorahoeve.nl/ bij Harskamp op de Veluwe.

Weetje: De naam klipper (clipper) is door Nederlandse zeelieden in de 18e eeuw aan deze vlinders gegeven. De tekening op de vleugels leek volgens de zeelieden op de masten en zeilen van klippers (snelle klassieke zeilschepen).
