this is the blue morpho butterfly, blue is not a strong enough word to describe it's shimmering beauty.
this is the outside of the blue morpho's wings, as you can see it will camouflage perfectly with most wood.
I believe this is an Iris. I'm not great with flowers and their names.
Dueling butterflies or more likely, mating.
I don't know if you can see that there are 2 bees in this flower.
I didn't think this butterfly was real, I thought it was painted and attached to a leaf for show. It took me a few minutes of staring at it until it moved. The colors were even more intense in person.
I love the colors of macaws.
I spent 3 hours last Friday at Butterfly World in Coconut Creek Florida. The colors I saw were so vibrant and incredible. Only nature can produce such brilliance. It felt as though I was in a Disney Pixar movie, I did not want to leave but the park was closing. The flowers were amazing and the butterflies breathtaking.
