Here’s one more buttefly from this summer! I came across it, I must have missed it earlier. Looking closer at the picture, I found that it was decent enough to post.

Ay carambo, this butterfly (the Blue Morpho, or Morpho granadensis in Latin) was not selling itself short. Always on the move, never sitting down, and when on rare occasion it did sit down it would fold its wings up — and the underside was not as pretty. Took a lot of patience waiting to find one sitting down and spreading its wings out. But what a reward.

Also called Heliconius hecale in Latin. I shot this butterfly in the Niagara Butterfly Conservatory. I took lots other pictures, but this is definetively one of the better ones. There were so many amazing butterflies there. I’ll go back one day when there are fewer people there. One of my favourite tricks was getting the butterflies to sit on my finger, I got quite good at it.

I caught this butterfly sitting on a lavender flower. Unfortunately, I had forgotten to adjust the ISO (it’s quite high :S).
