These were taken at Magic Wings (external link) in Deerfield, MA. They've got lots of butterflies, and some other things... I haven't gotten around to looking up any of the butterflies, but if anyone knows what they are, I'd be pleased to know.

1.

3. This one was sitting in the heart of a bush; hopefully the framing shows that, at least a little.

8. This trick works better in late fall, I suspect...

Steve and Santiago, thanks! I was pleased with the iguana; I didn't think I'd get nearly that sharp an image, given that the glass wasn't very clean.

Of course it was! That was the rare "iguana mimic butterfly"; very successful, very large. ;-)a
