Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, MD has a small butterfly conservatory that is open between May and September. Most of the butteflies are from Central and South America. I have tried to identify some of them but have fallen short. Any butterfly experts out there ? The conservatory does provide an opportunity for a photographer to capture some nice close-up shots.

The first photo is 'Malachite'.
