Class butterfly proudly wears our numbers

Our classmate Harold Greeney is an owner and director at Yanayacu Biological Station and Center for Creative Studies in Ecuador. As part of his research, he takes photos of bugs. Sweet, gig. Don't you think?

He came across this photo of a butterfly and calls it our "Class Butterfly". Can you see why? Notice the "89" pattern on its wing! Apparently, this is a Callicore type of butterfly from the nymphalid butterfly. According to my good friend Wikepedia, species in this genus area often called "88s" because of the characteristic design on the underside of the wings. However, this particular butterfly is obviously more unique, a little more special - just like the Class of 1989.

Thanks, Harold!

That is too funny. Brought a laugh to me. It's things like this that is making it more fun to get back together at our 20 year and see all the different paths everyone took. :)
