Mellie...your little Blue looks like a Cassius Blue (don't think it's a Marine Blue - but don't hold me to that - I'm not sure what butterflies ya'll have there).

The Ceraunus Blue has black spots. I raised some Ceraunuses? Cerauni? (heh heh) last year. They were sooooooo cute and sooo tiny!!!

Here's a photo of a Ceraunus Blue...see all the little black spots :o) They are soooo cute!

ps...got so carried away with the Banded Orange Heliconian I missed seeing that huge swallowtail. Is that a Zebra or Tiger? It sure is lovely!!!

Same goes for the Giant Swallowtail. Got love those big black and yellow beauties too!

...and boyd!!! I'm not up on my birds at all...that that one looks like a predator/raptor? I purchased a book and lots of the butterfliers here were birders...I just can't keep up! Must say I did see some mockingbirds and another, not sure what it was, eating the bugs that got stuck in the butterfly bait at the park :o) Am sure any butterfly that gets too drunk to fly will end up as a meal too.

psssssss....TOO FUNNY! Loved that photo of a Banded Orange Heliconian perched on that caiman's nose!!! Talk about beauty and the beast! David and Goliath! That butterfly sure has some you know what to be perched there :o)
