This little butterfly was the size of my fingernail! Extremely tiny. It was still fairly cold when I took this photo, so he wasn't moving around much. It gave me the opportunity to get closer.

One of the rarest species of European Buttreflies.

I haven't uploaded any thing to my Flickr page for months now, so I thought I should put up some photos I have taken at a recent visit to a butterfly farm.... Enjoy..

what I think are cabbage white butterfly eggs on a rocket leaf - same ones I photographed here www.flickr.com/photos/lordv/7960696414/ 9 days ago. Thought they looked close to hatching

Kobe city, Japan

大型の蝶（多分クロアゲハ）がふわりふわりと花から花へ移動していた。動きは実にゆったりしていて優雅だが、一所に留まることはない。慌ててコンデジを取り出して１枚だけ撮ることができた。写真で見ると羽が随分痛んでいるのがわかる。

Don't worry, I convinced them to let it go! :)
