Glasswing butterfly


My brother forwarded these pictures in an email. Aren't these pictures marvelous? I don't know who took them, but they are certainly beautiful. Thanks Marty!


My other brother won another game last night. He coaches girl's basketball at Southwood High School in Shreveport. Since 1995, his teams have won the state championships 9 times, and will hopefully, make it 10 times this year. Go, Steve and Lady Cowboys!

  2. I have never seen one of these critters before. At first I thought it was chocolate (honest).

  3. I wonder where these butterflies live, I'd love to see one for real. The orange lantana it is on is one of my favorite flowers. Unfortunately, they only grow as annuals here, but do very well in pots in our hot, dry summers.

    Fran - I Googled them and found they range from Mexico to Panama--way south of you, and even south of me!
