I hadn't checked the link out..thanks for asking...what a sweet little butterfly...I truly thought it would be black or white, so the orange was a surprise. We have a similar butterfly over here in the summer...I find it so amazing the colors that are produced on the cocoons. :))
Beautiful butterfly came out of that. Wow.
Something like tie dying. Always a pleasant surprise!
Thanks Blueidone !! did you check out the reference link you would be surprised what came out from there, i was!!!
This is one of my most favorite pics that I've come across on here. I love macro shots and the contrast is very pleasing to my eye...and to think that a great transformation took place inside of there..amazing :))
Thanks satyen!!
