Cairns Birdwing Butterfly

[beetleman]

This is another butterfly that they had at the butterfly garden called Magic Wings http://www.magicwings.com which my family and I went to mid summer. Since my camera is in Africa with my wife (will be back on Monday), I went through my pics and figured I would post this one. The butterfly is a male Cairns Birdwing Ornithoptera priamus. Sorry, my wife does not do macro, so I don`t think she will have any shots for the forum (she might surprise me) (the hell with the lions..where is that big bug you just saw!!!) and no wisecracks about this butterfly

Looks like the body was spray painted. You guys are making me feel very humble...

The missus went to Africa with your camera and left you at home! We need to have a long talk with you Doug! Nice image of the butterfly though.
