8/13/2023 Peck Butterfly House II | Black Swallowtail BusyPeck Butterfly House II | a 7 Image Story  The Peck Butterfly House always seems to delight with new butterflies every few weeks.

Black Swallowtail Busy   Although butterflies are less efficient than bees at moving pollen between plants, this Swallowtail appears to be very busy trying.  Black Swallowtail Color   This Black Swallowtail rests while showing off its dazzling colors.  Clipper Butterfly Head On   Clipper Butterflies stay in one place long enough to get a head shot. Blue Moon Butterfly   Even with a couple of hundred butterflies in the house, capturing one while not flying can be challenging.  Great Mormon Butterfly   Sometimes, nature’s symmetry is just amazing!  Blue Morpho Butterfly   Where’s the blue?  It’s on the top go the wings.  Unfortunately, this butterfly does not stop long enough with its wings open to get a photo of those beautiful wings.  Clipper Butterfly Colors    Spread your wings on a nice flower.  How much better could it get for a beautiful butterfly!

Each image from Peck Butterfly House II | a 7 Image Story will be posted individually this week with a bit more narrative under category Peck Butterfly House II.  Note: I post an image most days at hankconrad.com.
