A new exhibit recently opened in Riverhead called Butterflies and Birds. Other than it being 85 degrees inside with the humidity just as high, I was able to capture a few pictures before I was soaking wet!

This one was taken with a 90mm macro and I had to look up butterfly parts to correctly name its curly part.

Terrific, well-detailed capture, Patricia! I'd have hated the heat and humidity, but I'd love the exhibit!

Oh, Pat...let me die and go to Butterfly Heaven - this is one fantastic macro! Isn't it amazing what a good macro presents to us that our eyes entirely miss?! This is proof positive that there's more to a butterfly than meets the eye...gorgeous work, LI Gal! :)
