Some butterflies (lots of pics -- be warned)

Nice shots! The Atlas moth is very cool. Don't you love the 'snake head' markings on the wing tips that keep predators away?

Yes that is a kitchen 'scrubbie'. It gives the butterflies a place to land and keep their feet dry while still allowing them to reach their probiscus through the holes to drink the nectar solution. Not recommended for use outside in your own garden, as the sweet solution can also attract bees.
