I saw 1000s of 🦋 at Houston's Cockrell Butterfly Center & Museum, a 3-story glass-enclosed tropical rainforest! Sat on me & licked me even! #CanonR50 #RF55-210mmLens #Photography #ECK #Nature

"Blue (Da Ba Dee)," Eiffel 65.

A Morpho Achilles 🦋, native to S. American rainforests, has distinctive powder-blue wing bands. This one seemed blue in spirit also. #ECK #Butterflysky #Photography #FlyFri #CanonR50 #RF55-210mmLens #Insects #Macro #Nature
Photo of a Morpho Achilles butterfly on a green Palm leaf. The butterfly is a dark chestnut brown in colour all over his body and for much of his wings except for the two wide long streaks of iridescent turquoise blue that go down his wings. Little specks or dots of white, red, and yellow-beige lie at the farthest edges of the wing and decorate their tips from top to bottom of each wing.

"Please Mr. Postman," Rockettes, 1961

Postman butterflies from S. America: The dude 🦋 was apparently pestering the lady, so she shooed him off, per the museum guide. 3 others then came courting! #CanonR50 #RF55-210mmLens #ECK #ButterflySky #Nature #Insects #FlyDay
Photograph of two large butterflies, their wings spread horizontally, and one (a male) almost sitting on the other (a female), both on top of a green leaf. The butterflies have large red markings framed with yellow. They're called Postman butterflies and, unlike many other types, they consume both nectar and pollen, not just pollen. They're highly toxic to predators, apparently.
