Why not go out on a limb, that is where the fruit is....

Amazing! Just absolutely fanastic macro. Isn't it some kind of moth though? Suppose the poor fella was quite puzzled not being able to get real nectar. Well done and thanks for posting.

People will soon forget what you said or what you did, but they will always remember how you made them feel.
Oh, I should have known it was you....in fact, it did cross my mind as I was looking at this in the voting booth and trying to decide on what score to give it. Since I knew that the flower wasn't real, I began to really look at the insect, but I couldn't tell if it was real or not. I've never seen a pink proboscis for one thing...and there were other clues, but I ended up giving it a high score for intrigue and clarity alone. I hope you enlighten us as to just what the story is behind this one, and I'll subscribe to see if you answer the burning question I've just posted >>LOL<< :)

"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web." Pablo Picasso
Its taken in a butterfly garden in Stockholm, Sweden http://www.fjarilshuset.se/english/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=1
The flower is fabric with a hole filled with nectar, but the butterfly (Morpho peleides, The blue morpho, the other side of the wings are bright blue) is 100% real, only adjustment is unsharp mask and contrast in Photoshop.
If I do manipulations I´ll tell you, no one believes me since I started with my "Funnymals" *LOL*

I wouldn't expect any less from You. Is this Butterfly garden fully enclosed with the insects made captive for our viewing pleasure ? Please do tell.

Life's around said Phil the 35 millimetre cameraman. I recently went to the doctors, and said I've got icon fever, but he told me there was no cure for the disease.
The butterfly house
Blend in with the free flying butterflies in our tropical greenhouses. Among waterfalls and lushing green, youll discover the wonders of nature. See the butterflies mate, their larvae feed, and if you are really lucky, follow the young butterflly emerge from its pupae and strech its wings. Some of our butterflies are imported as pupaes, and some live and breed in our greenhouses.
The Butterfly house is 800 square metres, and the enviroment is tropical. The temperature never goes below 25 degrees during the day, and 18 during the night. The humidity is high, just as the butterflies like it. Over the course of one year, several thousand butterflies live here, and every time you visit us, there are at least 400 butterflies of many species here. They may seem exotic here, but the species we keep are common in their home countries, and none of them are under the threat of extinction.

I don't think he will get much nectar from those artificial flowers. Good close up image.

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