My DW - surprisingly - rushed in and asked me to rush with the camera! She had spotted this butterfly out there. Surprisingly, I was in! Which is this beauty she spotted the other day? It was nearly spanning six inches across!

It's a Blue Mormon, Papilio polymnestor. That's magnificent Dinu!

Thanks again claypa. Done it.

Please create an entry in BF if any of my specimens are identified correctly and I'll go directly to add pictures there.
