Butterflies

A visit to Chester Zoo a few months ago gave me the opportunity to take some camera phone macro shots of the butterflies in Butterfly Journey. I've no idea what their names are (although the blue one would probably suit "Phyllis") except for the first one which is a Goliath Moth and was bloody huge! This was the only one that was behind glass, the rest were flying free.

Some of the colours are amazing like the pearlescent blue on this one...




Some look a lot more delicate than others, although I would say there aren't many that are very robust...

Yeah, the colours are amazing and there's so much variety in there! Nate had one land on his hand when Fiona took him one time!
