Your area seems to have many varieties of butterflies, lovely! The only ones I see here are white, moths? Lol I wonder where the name butterfly came from.

Thank you, Frank. And I can answer your question. It’s because their “droppings” are the colour of butter! Not such a pretty answer 🙂

Nice close ups, especially the insets. My camera won’t get that close.
Someday, I’ll upgrade, but I’m good for now.

I zoom. That’s the only way to do kit with butterflies and dragonflies. Very seldom can I get up really close
