Fantastic close up. Hardly ever see any butterflies around my neck of the wood! I wonder why??? Have a guess, Carletta! However in Finschhafen in PNG, butterflies are in abundance and some of the prettiest imaginable. Many of the Australians working up there pre-Independence were avid collectors, just like stamps. Never appealed to me though. Identification books on butterfly types were the "norm" for many households.

nice shots. :)

Something that allows the naked eye to see much more is fantastic. The bits of dirt below the butterfly is something wee would neve see.
