Continuing my walk on the shores of Lake Louisa – here’s my loot on Butterflies. Happy of finding the more rare American Painted Lady, I ended the day watching the mating dance of some Palamedes Swallowtails.
A bit hard to catch, they were all over each other and pretty fast, it was fascinating nevertheless.
And then there was the smallest one – the Miami Blue. Difficult because so small and because his real beauty shows only with wings open – a stunning and very vibrant blue. In this case I had to neglect a bit the usual focus on the head area in order to provide an idea on how beautiful its colors are.
Have a look!

The baby turtle is so adorable and the birds… stunning as always.. thanks for sharing
I’m not familiar with the Palamedes and to think they have a mating dance is just so cool! The lone shot looks almost like an art piece with a drop shadow – gorgeous.
