Papillon Idea leuconoe. Il fait partie de la mĂªme famille que les monarques : les nymphalidĂ©s.
Volière à papillons du domaine de Maizerets, visite en août 2013.
Here's a butterfly in Kenya. I have no idea what it was but it was willing to hold still for a photo.
I was having a little fun with my Nikon 60mm macro lens and a couple butterflies from my collection. The textures and details on these creatures is amazing. Each butterfly, when viewed closely, is essentially a pixelated mosaic piece of art.

Had a good session with this butterfly- it seemed to gradually get used to me
The Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) is a large (12 cm wingspan) swallowtail butterfly. It is found in the Eastern United States, as far north as southern Vermont, and as far West as extreme Eastern Colorado. It flies from spring through fall, and most of the year in the southern portions of its range, where it may produce two or three broods a year. In the Appalachian region, it is replaced by the closely-related and only recently described larger-sized Papilio appalachiensis, and in the north, it is replaced by the closely-related Papilio canadensis. These three species can be very difficult to distinguish, and were formerly all considered to be a single species. Adult males are yellow, with four black "tiger stripes" on each fore wing. The trailing edges of the fore and hind wings are black which is broken with yellow spots. On the medial margin of the hind wing next to the abdomen there are small red and blue spots.

May 21st, Day 141 of 365
Such a hard day to pick a photo..... after several years of saying I was going to go, I made it to the Franklin Park Conservatory for their annual butterfly exhibit. And I took lots of photos. Pretty butterflies.... so many, all over, not wanting to stay still for me. So if you like butterfly and insect macros, I've posted several of the shots from the visit in my stream.
