Pretty Butterflies

I made a trip to the Butterfly Pavilion at the Natural History Museum this weekend, and I finally remembered to bring my camera. There is something magical about all of those butterflies flying around all over the place. Thought I would share a few pics with everyone.


If you blow this one up, you can actually see it drinking necter out of the flower...very cool.

Make sure a view a few of the butterfly pics at the largest size...I never noticed before just how much butterflies look like bugs! For some reason they always seemed less buglike to me.
