A new live butterfly exhibit opened at the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History. Here are a few of the better pictures I took.
The one above liked to sit still for several minutes at a time. It also has one of the larger wingspans.
This butterfly also has a five to six inch wingspan and a very long body.
Some butterflies were quite active, but I couldn't catch them "on the wing". Others would sit still for some time. Others hid in the shadows and were difficult to see and photograph.
