Spring is here and so are the butterflies! This week I have a gallery of a particular group of butterflies called Brushfoots. Brushfoots are the most commonly known and encountered of the large colorful butterflies (excluding the swallowtails) found in Florida and the Americas. These include the monarchs, fritillaries, buckeyes, and the viceroy below (who has nearly identical markings as the toxic monarch butterfly) to keep it from being eaten by birds.... cool trick, huh? :-)
Click the butterfly below to see my gallery - and please let me know what you think!
Thanks for adding me! I try to add as many new photos as often as possible, but if you'd like you can check out my main galleries by clicking on the alligator. I also have a new blog (the link is on my home page - you can't miss it - again - just click on the alligator. )
If you have any questions about photography or about Florida nature in general, don't hesitate to ask!
