Butterfly in Spanish is mariposa. Pron:mar-ee-poe-sah. In Chiapas, Mexico, at a place called Agua Azul, is a canyon upriver full of mariposas. The river is a very strong, muscular blue during the dry season. They say that the color comes from certain chemicals present in the bedrock (Stales?). Another beautiful blue associated with butterflies is the Blue Morpho butterfly that I had the pleasure of seeing in Costa Rica. It is at least as large as your hand and a gem-tone blue with black border. [getting the need-to-wander-again blues]
