While I sort through the images taken during various walks this week I thought I would share a few of the exotic butterflies seen during a visit to the Bi-Centenary Glasshouse, RHS Wisley at the end of February.

ReplyDeleteAmazing photographs of some beautiful butterflies Frank.
ReplyDeleteThose are certainly beautiful Frank. I bet is was a treat to see these creatures of summer at this time of year.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful exotic butterflies they are Frank. They are all stunning but my favourite is the Emerald Swallowtail.
ReplyDeleteSuch stunning butterflies. You've taken some lovely photos Frank.
ReplyDeleteEspecially like the Emerald Swallowtail, although all are beautiful.
Have a good weekend.
The ones below the 'Tree Nyph' for ID are types Mormon butterfly :).
ReplyDeleteOh my Frank, these are some stunning-looking creatures. I just love all those big eye spots, and then the beautiful colors with the open wings. That very last photo reminds me of an album cover for a Dead Can Dance record.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful specimens.
ReplyDeleteLovely images Frank.
ReplyDeleteMona & Roy. Thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteCoy. They certainly brightened up a winters day.
Jan. Not sure I did The Emerald justice as I couldn't get above it!
Shileyanne. A popular choice and I only got one half decent shot.
Gaina. Thank you for the ID. Much appreciated.
