well they were in my garden!

what does everyone think?

I like them. I believe that is a type of moth... don't butterflies keep their wings up when they land?

I've never seen a moth like that one before! Wonderful pattern.

What a beautiful butteryfly. Since I've been stung many times , I never like to see a bee that close :lol:
Looks like you have quite a garden!

i just set the macro focus, shutter speed , apperature and popped it on continuous shooting

dave,

some very nice butterfly shots. By the way, what kind of flowers (white) are they perched on?

davebaird · Jul 20, 2003, 2:25 PM

er lemme go ask my mum!

it's a budlia , budlea?

Dave,

Budd...%^$#,
gotcha.

Now that you gave me the first syllable, I think it's also called butterfly flower or something like that

With my shrinking memory, I actually had also taken a picture of the purple variety some years back on the island of Kauai. No butterflies tho.

Thanks.

yep we have the purple and white kind out the back

in the summer they are the best for attracting bees and butterflies
