This just in! It was confirmed today by a leading Lepidopterologist, and by this extraordinary image via live stream from the crater filled surface of the moon, there are butterflies in outerspace...
I was out hiking this morning, again the weather was fabulous, and after my hike, while getting back into my SUV, I spot this guy hanging around on the road's surface. I was not in the best position to get out the macro lense, so I quickly lowered my camera near the road's surface and snapped a photo. When I got home and uploaded the photographs I had taken, I was pleasantly surprised at how my quick butterfly shot turned out. This is SOOC. I thought right away it looked like it was on the moon.
