Earlier this week I went to the Butterflies and Blooms exhibit at the Chicago Botanic Garden. It is in a separate screen dome at the far end of the gardens away from any other display. The exhibit runs for 4 months and is closed when it rains (which has been most of June). The butterflies are all tropical mostly from South America, Malaysia and The Phillipines. They were not well identified which is a serious problem at this garden so I've been able to identify only a few of the ones I took shots of. This one is unidentified but was quite beautiful and fairly large. PS: MY THANKS TO CONNIE WHO FOUND A LINK THAT HELPED IDENTIFY SOME OF MY UNPOSTED BUTTERFLIES AS WELL AS THIS ONE WHICH IS A WHITE ADMIRAL!

That butterfly has probably read all the health reports on the benefits of hanging upside down...or other ways of getting in that position. I bet it's back is pain free and also has no stress in its life, not to mention perfect circulation. lol. Outstanding shot, Kathy. Beautifully done.

Nice capture of the butterfly hanging from the leaf Kathy. This probably means it is about to start laying eggs. Good colours and clarity in this shot.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
I agree with Jim, and Raj, it sure is a large one, too bad they don't identify things better. tigs=^..^=

Kathy, if it was have been a flower, perhaps I could be helpful to you, but butterflies is quite a different matter to me.
Like to agree with you that it's a beautiful and fairly large one.
Very good shot!

Try to change what you can't accept, but accept what you can't change. Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.
Wonderful image!
If I had to guess, I'd say this butterfly was a White Admiral. There's many variations in this species.
I found a list of species exhibited at the Chicago Botanic Gardens, but I'm sure it is probably incomplete.
