The Asterope leprieuri is a vibrant butterfly species in the family Nymphalidae, native to the Amazon rainforest in South America. It is known for its strikingly colorful wings, often displaying a combination of iridescent blue, orange, and black patterns. This butterfly thrives in tropical forests, typically seen in sunny clearings or along riverbanks. Adults feed on fermenting fruit, while the larvae depend on host plants within their habitat. The species plays a significant role in forest ecosystems as both a pollinator and a prey species, contributing to the biodiversity of its environment.
