Original Flutterby

except for a crop this is SOOC.
Some of my friends and followers were making comments on yesterday's flutterby suggesting that they weren't sure if it was real or made up. So I thought I'd show you the original image straight out of the camera, which I think I might prefer anyway as you can see the fruit it was eating. This was taken at Tropical World in Leeds when I went up there to visit my daughter and granddaughters.
