Fabulous find Pam. Wouldn't it be great if you could snap-freeze these and preserve/use them as bowls.

thanks Leuba. Been having a bit of trouble in low light in the forest though. Many of the butterflies were not sharp at all. Need to read the manual! No time now, but I'll be back in Tamil Nadu in a day or two... maybe then!
