Thanks, Conni. I love their nickname, American Morpho:>). It fits.

Aren't they lovely - they have the nickname "The American Morpho". Thank you for your visit and your support!

They are here! We saw a number of Tiger Swallowtails mud-puddling yesterday - so happy!

Sometimes pics are happy accidents. This Red-spotted Purple landed on a plastic bag - LOL. I was doing yard work. Thanks!

Thanks a million!

Thanks ever so much, Janette!

Many thanks, Miguel:>) Sometimes they are called America's Morpho because of the stunning iridescent colors.
