Well, stay tuned for later this year, as we get a lot of them around here, so they make for good subject matter.
The wife received the following from a friend that lives in Costa Rico. I was horrified that someone killed one, for a 'glass sandwich', but am always struck by the beauty of it.

One more from my stay at Grand Teton Nat'l Park for some Milky Way phtography. I used Starry Landscape Stacker to clear out the noise from 15 stacked photos and 5 dark frames. I used PS to blend two images together for the reflections and finished the post-processing in Lr. ISO 6400 20s, Fiji XT-3 w/ Rokinon 12mm f2 lens @ f2.
They’re beautiful for sure, but I fear that they’d die on their own just as fast as they would within a glass case. We, as a species, have a bad habit of destroying beautiful things. 😔
I’ll never understand how people can capture such amazing shots with their iPhones when I can’t event take a crisp shot of a bush or something, in broad daylight, without any distractions. 🤦♂️
While it's possible they were captured live, they might have also been found dead. Both specimens appear to be missing their abdomens, so they might have been killed by birds or something else. When you're a bug, it's a rough life.
it's actually the same butterfly (I think), just the top and bottom of it. It's a blue morpho. The "eyeball" side is the bottom, which you see mostly with it's wings up when sitting still, and the blue is the top of it when resting with the wings spread out. They are common in butterfly museums and they hardly ever sit still with the blue side open, so they are really hard to photograph (assuming you want to shoot the blue side). The eyeball side is more commonly photographed.
Yes, since this individual is a newcomer he may not be aware that images posted in this particular thread must be shot by the member, not something randomly seen somewhere on the internet or shot by someone else.I have a strange feeling about this photo. Can you please tell us what camera you used?
Cheers
Hugh

That brown one is the back side of that same Morpho. It's like it has a 'party' outfit, and a 'work' outfit. Saves on cleaning bills I'd bet...

These are nice but photos in this thread are supposed to be shot by the person who is posting them.
A tree stump (tree fell during a storm last winter) decorated with bird houses ... Hope, BC, last week, captured during a walkabout and chat with owner of the property.
. Camera on my iPad Mini 4.

Happy 4th POTD’ers. 🎆🎇
I’ve been mesmerized by the clouds all week.

And they were! I took them my very baby self just today.
EDIT: Oh, you thought she got the pictures. Nope, it's an 'injured' Blue Morpho stuck in a glass sandwich. At least that is the story that came in the box (it's missing its butt). The pictures I took do not even begin to do it justice. There are blue hilights in the brown side that the iPhone missed.
