The first of hopefully many shots from "Butterfly Heaven"

This is the first butterfly shot from the field I discovered. If you look closely, you'll see there are 2 butterflies (they're mating)

Memorial weekend 2009.

Here's a bit of an odd story, my Mom called me from work about an hour ago to tell me there was a really pretty moth outside the door where she works. She said "naturally I haven't seen it but everyone says it's so pretty & I thought that girl in France (Sandy) who likes the butterflies would like it" She hadn't seen it because my Mom is TERRIFIED of moths, she couldn't even go look at it. So I drove out to where she works thinking it will never still be there, but it was & here it is.

Butterflies in North Carolina

Re-post of my deleted Butterflies photo

Butterflies in North Carolina

This is a re-post of my stupidly deleted photo of butterflies shot in North Carolina

taken in maine 2006

With references to nusha's butterfly video, and rjdpa's butterfly pictures, I remembered these that I took a few years ago in Maine during the Monarch Butterfly migration. There were hundreds of them, it was so exciting and beautiful.

A beautiful white butterfly I photographed in Malaysia

This was taken in the Cameron highlands, it took a lot of chasing to photograph this little one.

yellow butterflies attacked my soul

Iguazu, Argentina

First time seeing my favorite bug at my cabin. It's a Lunar Moth and the picture doesn't do it justice. There are probably better pics on the net but this bug is on my porch now so there you have it.

While shooting the flowers a bee visited

This is one of those right place right time kinda captures. I was shooting the flowers when a bumblebee came in for a landing.

Eureka Tower bees, Melbourne, Australia

bee on a dandylion

My mom is doing a series on Eastern KY, and is incoporating bee images. I took this for her, but thought I'd share it here, too.

Spiral in the center of a daisy

While editing this photo I noticed the spiral pattern in the center of the daisy. It's amazing what you can see when you really look

Daisies I found in the woods yesterday

I shot this last night while meandering about looking for cool things to photograph

ive been here... but around twilight it looks so pretty.

Taken in Malaysia

(I re-recorded this a while ago in the drawing 'mariposa')

Apparently the standard yellow & black weren't good enough for this bumblebee so he pimped himself with some cool gold stripes

Flutter-by Flutter-by, dear dear Butterfly
rest on Winds, best on Winds
Let your love Pass me by
Palette wings, Color sings
Take you Not my diamond rings
for Love I heard, from my eyes,
the shallow Song, which I Despise

I stalked him (or her) through the garden for 20 minutes before he stopped

In my school.

After having taken the two pictures of this butterfly, I wanted to create a wallpaper of a sort of hybrid animal with lightning wings. This work is still in progress but if you have any idea on how to use this, feel free to do so :)

The background reminded me of an impressionist painting, so I was pleased when the gulf frittillary chose to perch on this particular lantana branch.

I'm allergic to bees, so it's a little intimidating shooting them with a macro! Alas, my (naked) knees also happened to be resting on a nice little ant hill.

Badass butterfly. Blue cosmos and white hearts on it's wings!! So cool.

Took a snapshot of a butterfly, later photo-enhanced it on my iPhoto for Macbook.
This was in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in the Butterfly & Plants Exhibition; Butterfly Pavilion.

I really really like the detail in this image. I was quite surprised at how well it turned out.

Monarch butterfly.

or it could be a moth... I'm not really a bug expert =P
but I thought it was pretty... and I also chased it around my backyard for like ten minutes =)
