    These are all amazing, and kinds I've never seen before. Come to think about it, black and orange are quite "popular" colours among butterflies though, aren't they?

    Wow what a collection!!! It sounds oxymoronic to use the phrase tour de force for butterflies but I think it applies to your shoot.

    What an awesome collection of shots. You must be very patient. I am intrigued by the one that looks to have clear wings.

    I like the 4th one with the transparent wings.

    You don't have the Monarch butterfly?

    Firstly, yes, Ann, I do have a Monarch but tought enough was enough! I tend to get carried away and put too many photos on.

    The Clearwing Butterfly (Oleria rubescens) is a beautiful creature. Their wings lack the usual dense covering of scales that give other butterflies their distinct coloration. This transparency renders these clearwing butterflies elusive as they appear and disappear in the dense forest undergrowth. It is not found in the UK - execpt in butterfly houses wich is where I photographed this one.

    We do,however, have some moths with clear wings such as the Braod-bordered Bee Hawk Moth .
