This is probably the largest butterfly I ever saw. I saw it from the highway when driving into Little Rock, AR. I didn't know it existed. I left the highway and went to take a picture of the mural:  Here is a YouTube video showing the artist Mantra creating the mural: |

Wow, thanks nomihoudai for sharing !
Awesome job of artwork. And they appear to be accurate
in the details. One could probably come to name most
(or all) to species...
Very cool.

I like the 3D look of the painting, looks so realistic.

There is two more butterfly murals at 1004 Garrison Ave Fort Smith, Arkansas, also by Mantra. These have the added bonus that they are on street level, so you will be able to take a selfie with the butterflies in the background.
It's a 4h drive from my place.

I've seen the Fort Smith one several times while heading to the crystal mines in Mt. Ida. Great city names in Arkansas. My two favorite are 'Y' and Smackover.

Neat . If you put a mural of dead butterflies in my state PETA would be protesting to have it removed.

Prepare yourself for a really bad pun. Seriously, don't read past this if you are easily offended by light hearted political comments....
Oliver please don't ban me....
Ok.....You have been warned.....
So Gaspipe,are you saying PETA would protest with 'Butterfly Lives Matter' signs? Let the acronym sink in..... Hmmmmm.....Tshirts....
Or would the signs read 'Protect The Sacred Diapause' PTSD?
