Yesterday I went to Devonian Botanic Garden (by Edmonton) to search for a shot for the Botany Challenge and I found a greenhouse full of butterflies! It was very difficult to take a decent picture, they were flying all the time and didn't want to sit still. These are my three best shots (40% crop) out of about 30, taken with a 24-120 zoom set for 120mm.
Please, please comment.

Not really that good of a shot but here's something I took the other week using a flash:  |

The first one with transparent wings is a Helliconia. Someone from Costa Rica gave me that info when I posted mine on photosig.
