This was taken at our tropical Butterfly House 10/08/06.I was very fortunate in that it allowed me to get rather close to it ( very rare) & shoot this image. It was definitely taking a long rest. I have searched and been unable to come up with the type of butterfly this is. All comments and critiques are welcomed here. Enjoy ;=)

Great capture of a beautiful specimen. Well done. I find it very hard to shoot butterflies. They hardly ever sit still for me. ^_^

The graveyard shift is best. No bones about it! Happy Hallowe'en !
Absolutly perfect shot, Mimi! The detail in the butterfly and the log are amazing. You're right, this is a most unusal specimen. It's going straight into my butterfly collection and I'll let you know if i come up with and ID on it.

We make a living by what we get; but we make a life by what we give.
She flew straight into my faves while I was reading all the wonderful comments above. How nice to have a place to go and view butterflies, say nothing of taking shots of them. But I'm glad you did. There must be some sort of butterfly identification site or book around somewhere, and I'm surprised the Butterfly House didn't have a sign up or some information on their specimens..definitely a opening for you to give them a suggestion ...wonderful shot..so very clear and well composed :)PJ

Picture Purrrfect .
Why does the picture come out square when the lens is round??? 8~O
Hi Mimi, my oh my, this little butterfly is the star of the show, and what a show it is! He is sharing with us the most detailed of his kind! The clarity here is simply amazing, and the many and varied textures present are so distinct, so appealing! They add so much interest to the image and provide this little guy with a stunning background! I think he knew, that by resting and being patient, you would make him shine, and you did!! Very nice Mimi, Sincerely, Marilyn

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Beautiful shot and I love how you framed it using the turquoise from the wing.

Yesterday's history. Tomorrow's a mystery. Today's a gift. That's why it's called the present.
I just love nature, it’s so beautiful on its own that you don’t have to do anything to it. What a wonderful post. I love the framing you did.
