Flutterbies, Butterflies

 

It was really neat to see this exhibit.  We've been to a butterfly exhibit before but it did not even compare to this one.  We could easily see the butterflies drinking nectar from the flowers and the feeders.

I really like this picture.

There were several hanging baskets of petunias which the butterflies apparently loved.  See this one taking a drink.

Notice the proboscis (what they drink with) all curled up.

I had told Sean I didn't think we'd see any chrysalises but obviously I was wrong.  Wow.
