Consumed by Butterflies

Well my day has been eaten up by them.

I have only actually released about ten. There are as many again that seem to have bedded down for the night. It is only eight thirty here but it is getting quite dark, it is just the bad weather, it was dark at lunchtime.

I made many hours of video today but I will spare you that. Watching Butterflies wings dry is a bit like paint.

I just want to post a few more pictures of these beautiful animals. It is not often that I can get this close to them or see them in such good condition.

  1. Beautiful butterfly and photos, Colin. It’s always amazing to me how intricately detailed every plant and animal is. The wings of this butterfly are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. Happy Trails!

  2. Such stunning colors. I’m not too familiar with a lot of types of butterflies, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that one around here. Great post!
