lol, it was a lucky shot I admit, though I'm not surprised as the Rainforest always seems to have a abundence of morphos and plenty of sun.

Hey, I would settle for a lucky shot any day. LOL They always have a bazillion of these at the Butterfly House, but I still haven't gotten a picture of them with the wings open. We are always there at least 2 hours, so it's not like I don't have plenty of time to get one. I remember one time I went, I mentioned to one of the girls that worked there that I would love to get a picture of one with the wings open. So, she was watching for one for me. Well, she came over and pointed to this one with the wings open and I made a beeline over there. Just as I go to take the picture, it closes it's wings. Grrrrrr...... Now the conservatory here in Fort Wayne has a butterfly exhibit for two months in the spring. I did get a picture of one with the wings open, but it's on the netting and just doesn't look like that nice of a picture. Hmmm......maybe I could cut it out in photoshop and then take a picture of some tropical plant and just put it on there. LOL =D
