I thought I would come and visit your beautiful butterfly gallery to remind me of warmer days. It's only 15 degrees here in SC which is unheard of. Old man winter didn't want us northerner's to completely forget what real winter is like...LOL. So many beautiful butterfly captures here my friend. Wonderful. Vote :)

Love the butterflies! My grandbaby (5 years old) and I often play "Butterfly Bingo" to help us both learn the names of the butterflies. Many of your butterflies are included in the game and we each have our favorites when we play the game. V.
