Unbelievable! I keep trying to visualize what the whole bush looked like, covered in a dazzling array of butterflies and other buzzing things.

@Candace: You know, I didn't allow myself to take it all in except for the initial sighting. Either way, it's better in your imagination.

All of these butterfly captures are fine images. I like this one the best because the insect legs are hidden by the flower and it doesn't creep me out so badly:-)

@sherri: Ha, ha... well, keep working on it... I once really hated spiders because of stories I heard when a youth but I pretty well got over it. (It's the daddy longlegs that creep me out though they are harmless.)
