This is the kind of shot I like to call 'serendipity'...a skilled photographer capturing an extraordinary scene. Terry

Awesome Photo!! As always you know how to capture these beautiful creatures. I've never seen one that color before. Is the butterfly house open to the public all year?? I want to go.

The green and the flowers on the left makes this pic very alive - a nice photograph.
