Thanks for the nice comment Arlon. Yes, I posted some mating butterfly a while ago, but I could not pass up the chance to post these as I thought they turned out well. The black and red one is very striking and beautiful.
Wow Those are beautiful, especially...well all of them. A few tiny compression artifacts here and there but hardly noticable unless your picky like me and go looking for them but hey I can live with them if you can. You did really good on these Joan.
Thanks for the lovely comment Bruce. These are Asian butterflies taken at the small butterfly house nearby.
The red and black one is: Parides polyeuctes Common Windmill
The 2nd: either Graphium agamemnon agamemnon Tailed jay or Graphium chironides (they look very similar and I am not such a boffin on them to be able to tell the differences.
3rd: I cannot find the name on the site I am using for info
Very beautiful Joan. I love the shape of the chrysalis shells in the first picture. Were these taken at a butterfly garden? I`ll never get tired of butterflies

Thanks for the kind words Doug. Butterflies have to be the most beautiful of all the creatures created. I never tire of them too. Yes they were taken at the Butterfly House.
Somehow I seem to have missed your reply. I am so sorry about that. Thank you for your kind words. I like the lighting on it too. It turned out very well.
