Blue Beauty
Uploaded: June 27, 2005
Butterfly in Key West Florida. At the Butterfly Conservatory. Had my macro setting on. It took me a long long time to get one of these blue ones. They are very hard to get. When their wings are closed up they are brown on the outside with the owl looking eyes on them.

KayThe blue on this butterfly wings is outstanding. The outlining the blue brings this to a standout.
You have some of the most interesting colors on your butterflies. I enjoyed your gallery.

Thank you very much Ken :) #1639350Diana Child March 13, 2006
Kay, I noticed your mini that you use with your responses and HAD to see the original. I've got a few of the Blue Morpho's with wings open. I know what you mean. They are hard to get and even harder to get on a nice background setting. You worked hard and got one of the prettiest I've seen. I'm definately jealous. BTW, I'm a Flordia gal myself. Busch Gardens next weekend for me. #2527940Kay E. Mahoney March 14, 2006
Thank you Diana. I love butterflies. Have a great time at Busch Gardens. One of my favorite places. #2530263JO ANN CLEVELAND June 16, 2006
