The Spring Butterfly exhibit at the Desert Botanical Garden opened last week so I went on Friday to see how they look. I'd say they are looking very good. Above is a Gulf Fritillary.
Here is a White Peacock butterfly. (My friend Julie said she would call this photo 'Butterfly with Chop Sticks' because of those stems in the photo.)

And, I was thrilled to see my favorite the Malachite. I only saw two of them and they both stayed on the plate with the orange slices the whole time I was there.
Lovely photos Sharon. This is one insect that everyone loves to see.

ReplyDeleteGreat photos, Sharon. Your camera must have a very fast shutter speed.
