Description
A close-up photograph of a Southern Blue butterfly (Zizina oxleyi). These are tiny butterflies, about the size of a 20c coin when it’s wings are closed, and this particular species is only found in the eastern part of the South Island. This one was photographed feeding on wild clover flowers at Elephant Rocks, part of the UNESCO Waitaki Whitestone Geopark.
This is a print based on a photograph made using the anthotype process. Anthotypes are created using plant dyes (in this case foraged blueberries), with a ‘positive’ image placed on top and exposed to the sun.
