Butterflies!

Hola!

Well, it's about time I suppose that I get on to the butterflies.  I am at a Butterfly Garden after all!  So, without further adieu, here are some photos from yesterday morning.

If you wake up nice and early, you catch some of the butterflies sleeping.  For example, these two:

False Postman (Heliconius clysonymus)

























Spotted Longwing (Heliconius hecale)

























A butterfly who manages both subtle and stunning at the same time is the Cracker, so named because of the cracking sound he uses to attract a mate (unique among butterflies).

Cracker (Hamadryas feronia)















There are so many butterflies in the country that many don't even have a common name, like this little green gem:

Unnamed (Nessaea aglaura)















Unnamed (Nessaea aglaura)















One more.  It seems the benches in the reception area are prime location for interesting moths, like this white one that appeared here yesterday in the am.

Unidentified moth.















Also, since a few people (a small few) are interested in my CR bird sightings, I have posted a list on the website (http://www.kylehorner.com/page8.php).  That's all for now, will post again soon!

Cheers!
Kyle
