Maybe I will post the butterflies in the butterfly mission..thanks for the recommendation. good idea about helping educating people.
Susan, I think you should still post them all in the butterfly mission. Even if they are not in the wild if you say where they are originary from the photos can help people to learn about all these butterflies :-)
thanks peter...but these butterflies are not found in the wild, i do not know if i qualify.
