Thank you, Christine Y. The visit to the Edinburg Butterfly Centre had to be restricted to about 30 mins only, we were driving elsewhere and had stopped to pick up some food at the adjoining garden centre...I went totally mad...had to be dragged away! I totally share your " blurry" experience...these guys never sit still.

Your butterflies are beautiful. I went to an indoor butterfly garden last week and took over 300 pictures, but all but a few were blurry! The Green Banded Peacock was my favorite :)
