Butterflies are Beautiful Creatures

When I first started Squidoo, my very first lens was about butterflies. They are beautiful creatures and I am fascinated watching them. Fortunately, I volunteer at The Butterfly House in Chesterfield, Missouri, so I have easy access to photographing and learning about butterflies.

Since my first lens on butterflies, I have added several other butterfly related lenses so I thought it was a good time to gather them all into one lens.

I hope you enjoy my Butterfly Lenses.

This pretty butterfly was photographed at The Butterfly House. He has landed near the exit door with his wings spread wide.

In their native habitat the "Cracker Butterflies" can be found in an area ranging from Arizona to South America, with at least 9 species in Costa Rica. The Butterfly House gets them from a butterfly farm in Costa Rica.
