Great shot! I can appreciate how difficult it must have been after spending the afternoon chasing dragonflies, butterflies and frogs myself. You really captured him well!

Great shot Caruso. It is amazing how much work they do to keep the Butterfly House up and going. They put in a vigorous day so people can enjoy the beauty of the butterflies. Yours is a great example.

What a beautiful, clear shot of this B&W butterfly. I can't say that I have ever saw one with my own two eyes. (or three eye, one being the camera) LOL Great Capture.

Another beautiful butterfly well captured Steve. The last one I had identified as the "Blue Morpho". This could be the "Common Lime Butterfly" or
Papileo Demoleus

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
