    Default Eight Lovely Butterflies

    I went to a butterfly show and here are some pictures. I absolutely love them! I did not try to ID these though...


    I know the one below is a swallowtail...

    Okay, one more. Watermelon slices are given out, and the butterflies love them!



    Oh, and, I labeled the thread "Eight Lovely Butterflies". I know there are more than eight butterflies in total. I meant "Eight Butterfly Pictures" or something.
