Description

Happy TKW Day!
I captured these beautiful mating birdwing butterflies on a recent trip to the Butterfly Pavillion at Henry Doorly Zoo. They were near the path and at just the right height to catch everyone's eye.

I don't think my shot of them came out nearly as well!
Ps---a few more Junebugs and butterflies like this and you'll have a theme going ;) Guess that means you've got a good eye to catch these little critters in the act---though these two were quite oblivious to their location on display! #8801226
