Wow, wonderful colours, detail and clarity in this very beautiful image, Teto !!! Thanks for sharing.
 
A most beautiful image of a swallowtail. I love the blue flowers in the setting, so delicate. The colours of both the butterfly and the flower stand out beautifully against the dark backdrop.
 
Nice image of the flutterby, they have been active here but it has been windy and hard to get a still shot.

A gorgeous close up, Teto; the flower makes a pretty perch too. Lovely!
