Another wonderful addition to your butterfly collection. This beauty is presented here with sharp and clear details, love the mottled wings with brown and black patches and gorgeous white spots. Nice work Erika. #9572612

Great shots of the butterflys. Its not always easy to get them to behave when you want to shoot them. Nice Captures. #9572737

Thank you so much, Reynaldo and David! Yes, it's not that easy to get a good shot of them, they don't sit still long enough and always opening and closing their wings. Erika. #9576903
