Some of my butterfly pix

I took these at the Science Museum of Western Virginia's Butterfly Garden before it was replaced with the Hidden Garden horticultural exhibit. The museum is in Roanoke, VA.

I like to try and get pictures of them.

Sometimes I capture odd things that I can't name.

Most of these are tropical species whose names I can't recall. The second one is a common buckeye, which species I've seen here in Pennsylvania.

I seldom crawl on the floor, but when I do it's usually to find a pill I've dropped while filling the pill caddy.
