Not sure about the identification. I used a flash so the gold colour is not as visible as it should.
This was shot on a nettle leaf.
:) We just had a great time chasing these buties....

After a few days eating lemon tree leaves, Pam's caterpillar began its' change. Hopefully we'll get some shots of the Dainty Swallowtail butterfly.
I spotted this beautiful butterfly the other day...it was huge and just floated around for a while...I took several pics but this was the only one that turned out OK...she wouldn't stay still for very long, LOL!
I recently had the pleasure of checking out the Butterflies Alive! exhibit at the Lubbock Science Spectrum and, while I can’t say I was blown away with the presentation, it was certainly a lot of fun.
It’s hard to compare a traveling butterfly exhibit to a permanent fixture like the Cockrell Center in Houston, but it was impressive by Lubbock standards. They touted 600 butterflies, but we found that a little hard to swallow. There were, however, plenty of insects on display. Though most of them seemed to be of one or two varieties (with the Monarch’s easiest to spot), there were a few hidden gems in the bunch.
