Hi everyone! I figured someone better start a new monthly thread and I have several pics from the museum so I guess it's up to me.

The flight cage is almost exclusively Zebra Longwings right now. Here's one on some pentas.

But we do have some Atalas; I released four today.

I also released a Cloudless Sulphur - it went straight to hiding in one of the hanging baskets.

After it warmed up, a couple of Julias emerged from hiding. A guest actually pointed one out to me! In my defense, it was behind me, LOL!

I went out in the garden and tried to catch some butterflies to add some diversity. I ended up catching about four Long-Tailed Skippers but the real surprise was seeing and capturing a White Peacock! Very late in the year for this guy!
