Black Swallowtail butterfly on "Horrible Thislte (that really is the name!)", Shark Valley, The Everglades National Park, Florida March 2013. I was riding a bicylce into a steady, 10-15mph headwind when I saw this butterfly. There had not been many that day. It was terrible, glaring mid day light and with the wind, even harder to get a good shot. And, it was a raggedy, less than perfect butterfly. But, I fought for it! We have these butterflies and this thistle in Maine. Here we call it Bull Thistle.
We visited the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservancy in Key West. It was a moving experience. It is set up as if the visitor is inside a giant terrarium amidst the butterflies (over 1500!), exotic birds and flowers. I recommend it for anyone giong to Key West.

Giant Blue Morpho butterfly, ventral view. These guys were so active, it was nearly impossible to get a clean, sharp shot. They were everywhere, but when they landed, they invariably had their wings up, as you see here. We visited the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservancy in Key West. It was a moving experience.
