Did you see this at a butterfly exhibit? |

May 1, 2008 8:08 PM | Thank you, but that wasn't one of the choices on the cards we were given. Of course I never thought to ask if they had butterflies that weren't listed on the cards. I have many pictures of different butterflies but it's going to take me a long while to figure out who they are. They also had the chrysalis on display. Thanks for your help. I've raised butterflies last years but these were all new to me.  Click the image for an enlarged view.
