 This could have made it to 'Unexpected Find' too (as well as so many others I took in the last week). This one was charming though and the emphasis is on their brilliant camouflage. I had just miliseconds to take this before they fluttered apart once more.

Beautiful! How do you get butterflies to cooperate in the studio? Don't they fly all around the place?
