Northern painted beauty (SciiFii)

The northern painted beauty (Batesia borealis) is a species of butterfly of the family Nymphalidae that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The northern painted beauty can reach a wingspan of 85-95 mm. The upperside of the wings is blue, with a submarginal band of the same color surrounding the outher margin of the hindwings. On the forewings there is a large pink patch. The underside of the hindwings is yellow, varying in tone from pale cream to deep saffron depending on locality. The adult northern painted beauty feeds on nectar of a wide range of flowers, while the caterpillars of the same species feed on a variety of leafy vegetation. The conservation status of the northern painted beauty is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the northern painted beauty's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
