Monarch Butterfly
Photo by John Gates.
Blue Morpho
The elusive and exotic Morpho Peleides, or Blue Morpho, momentarily basks in the sun. Rarely witnessed, difficult to capture, but perfectly rendered on Fuji Provia slide film at the Frederick Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Quench
This is what butterflies do when they get thirsty. "Heliconius Hecale", the Hecale Longwing butterfly, sips water from a leaf at the Frederick Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This image exhibits excellent detail and color right down to the droplet of water dangling from it's proboscus.
Pollinated Purple
Another incredibly detailed image of the Hecale Longwing butterfly, this time sipping nectar from the purple bloom. Notice the dusting of purple colored pollen between the eyes. Eye popping color combine with vivid details to provide an interesting image for home or office.
Resting Blue Morpho
"Morpho peleides" - the exotic Blue Morpho butterfly - taking a break at the Frederick Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Blue Morpho rarely opens its beautifully colored wings to bask in the sun, but I captured one doing exactly that. It is available elsewhere in the gallery.
Rest Stop
This award winning image was taken at the Detroit Zoo. The beautiful "Heliconius hecale", or Hecale Longwing, landed briefly on the sprig of evergreen.
Wood Nymph
An amazing image of the Idea Leuconoe, or Wood Nymph, butterfly resting briefly on a leaf at the Frederick Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Bog Fritillary
Boloria eunomia - or Bog Fritillary - may be a threatened species due to changing habitat if global warming occurs as predicted over the next several years. Algonquin Provincial Park in northern Ontario provided the setting for this image.
Dryadula Phaetusa
Dryadula Phaetusa - the beautiful Banded Orange butterfly - captured perfectly on Fuji Provia transparency film at the Frederick Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Postman
Heliconius melpomene - "Postman" - perched atop a bloom. The incredible detail was captured perfectly on Fuji Provia slide film at the Detroit Zoo.
Rest Stop II
This gorgeous Hecale Longwing butterfly paused briefly on a sprig of evergreen at the Detroit Zoo. Fuji Provia slide film captured the details perfectly.
