I'm posting this one because I'd never seen these before - definitely not for its photographic qualities - there were at least 12 of these butterflies down at the bottom of a crevasse leading to the Mulberry River near the base of a tree. No way you could get to them. They never stayed still a minute. Larger than most butterflies I had seen before and colored differently.

Wow! What a find! You did well to get so many together in the shot.

Cool shot. If I remember right, they told me at the butterfly exhibit that they suck salt out of bricks and the like.

Thanks so much for the information, Dawn. That makes sense why they might be clustered there.

What a wonderful find.
