A genus of butterflies in the family Nymphalidae, characterized by intricate wing patterns and seasonal color variations.
From Greek 'graptos' (written, painted), referring to the distinctive markings that appear written or painted on the butterfly wings.
Grapta butterflies change colors between seasons—the summer form looks completely different from the winter form, and scientists initially thought they were different species until they discovered this dramatic transformation.
