Great Picture and story too! I discovered these Butterflies 2 years ago on the new property we are now on...The "shock" noises they make drew my attention to them...I only had an iPhone camera then... And trying to capture them was almost impossible...The Irony is that last week on was in my laundry room on my own shirt, and let me take pictures, of course with my DSLR...no hunting involved..LOL

Thank yo Loonie! This "noise" gives a common name for all butterflies from "Hamadryas" species: "Crack buttefly", here in Brazil, Borboleta estaladeira.
