A few months ago, I went to a Butterfly greenhouse. this is one of the species i saw there.

A tame red admiral butterfly ? Not really- this butterfly landed about 7.5 feet up in a tree- too high for me to reach and I figured if I tried to stand on a chair I would spook it. Only thing for it- I stuck a finger under it's nose and much to my surprise it walked on and stayed there for a while

macro butterfly

My poor tree at my terrace was covered with this worms and I really don’t know what to do; kill them will perhaps kill some beautiful butterfly :-(. Just hope that the tree can survive this summer.

By the way, I do have nightmare after taking these shots; macro is not a good idea …

Small white butterfly on valerian

A very tiny butterfly, a baby-butterfly I guess, just landed in front of me. He or she waited patiently while I lay down and made pictures of it. Thanks.

Since the first blue butterfly was seen not long ago, more of them came along.This Holly Blue butterfly was taken at Dudmaston Hall, the National Trust property.
