Our recent weather predictions have things heating up this coming weekend so I decided to make an afternoon visit to the Desert Botanical Garden before our heat starts to limit outdoor adventures. I hadn't visited the butterfly pavilion this spring and it's going to close next week so I made sure to go. I was rewarded with an abundance of one of my favorite butterflies, the malachite.
In the past, I'd be lucky to see one malachite butterfly but on this occasion, they were the predominate beauties flying around the pavilion.
Not only were they abundant but, they were also cooperative. They landed frequently and posed with their pretty wings wide open so I could get a number of photos.
Let's just say that for a few minutes, I was in a bit of malachite heaven!
