Winged Wonders is back and running at the zoo. Still can't hold my camera that steady, so most shots end up scrapped. 20% keep rate is not the best, but it's better then nothing.
First up, the ever popular blue morpho, with his wings closed...as always. These guys have eluded me for the past 3 years, maybe this is my year.
not a clue what these guys were called now...but they are bright purple...only in the right light though. Most times, these guys are hidden or not flashing the colors. Today was rare, I had 4 of them right infront of me for several minutes.
This is the same as above. I loved his spotted eyes.
He was a lone little guy in a big big world. And every time I took, rather tried to take his picture some girl would walk in front of me. Silly teenagers and their cell phones.
I just love his placement. Wished it could have been on a different backdrop, but it's the first visit of many...i'll take it for now.

The Malachite butteflies are awesome. So far we only have 1 hatched and out. I found him in the far bush and all the workers were excited to see him. I told them about the pictures i took last year and maybe I'll print a copy out and take it to them.....who knows :)
