    It's great, that our eyes are open also for another things, not just orchids. Like Ron or you Branka. Thanks for your pics.

    Nice, Branka! (And catching a Morpho with its wings open is not easily done)

    Thanks for your comments.
    Pavel you're right: most of the time we can find this butterfly in this position.
    Taking a picture of most animals means: 95 % of waiting for an appropriate moment and then - fast action If we miss it's all in vain.
