two "brown" butterflies making more "brown" butterflies (8/3/12)

Spent an hour at Stratford upon Avon butterfly farm today. Unfortunately I was dressed for the weather outside, rather than the tropical temperatures indoors.....

When these drab coloured butterflies open their wings they are the most beautiful iridescent blue

you've got some great shots! The patterns are very effective for scaring away predators, they really do look like eyes of a bigger animal!
