Some butterflies (lots of pics -- be warned)

oh how cool!!! I love butterflies!!

nice pics :)

is that a pot scrubber they have in a dish to help the butterflies drink the liquid in the dish? lol

Very nice!! We have a place called Butterfly world here. And I have that orchid Epicattleya Rene Marques 'Flame Thrower' HCC/AOS. Thanks for Sharing

Oh my! :whew

Those were stunning! Thanks for sharing them :clap:

That moth looks like a painting! Beautiful!

Thanks for sharing the fantastic pics, Paul!

WoW!!! Great photos!

WOW . That is something to see . We make a point of planting flowers and shrubs that attract butterflies and birds to our garden. We have one plant, Crossberry Grewia Occidentalis, that attracts bubble-bees when it is in flower, it is quite a sight to see. Thanks for sharing

I LOVE BUTTERFLIES. You just made my morning.

OMG Faeries everywhere! Nice pics. Must resist the urge to add butterflies to hobby list.

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.

Wow :drool: beautiful!!!! How wonderful to be surrounded by butterflies and the colors on that moth, so gorgeous, I feel a little quilting inspiration....

thank you for the pics. :D

Totally Awesome! :):Tup:
Thanks so much for sharing :nod:
