A special shade house guest

[Junebug]

It was nearly dusk when I caught glimse of this butterfly in my shade house. She was sitting motionless on the roots of a Vanda and stayed there long enough for me to fetch my camera and capture some images.

I wish the camera was handy a few days ago for another shade house/butterfly incident. A butterfly was flying so near to my face, neck, and shoulders that I could feel the beat of her wings. She exhibited this activity for a minute or so, landed on my wrist, stayed there briefly, and then fluttered away.
