About this group »
About Butterfly Gallery - only Butterflies: Moths in the Moth Gallery
This Gallery is for photographs of the Butterfly members of Lepidoptera.
We expect all our group members to respect the environment when taking photographs and to take every care about not damaging the habitat and not damaging the insects themselves.
We accept that netting may be necessary for the ID of certain species and we accept that the killing and pinning of species may be necessary for scientific purposes. However we don't want to see photographs of pinned specimens here.
We definitely do not condone putting specimens in the freezer to be photographed in the studio. Neither do we condone spraying specimens with water for effect.
What we want in the group is photographs of butterflies in the wild or in butterfly houses
Please comment another photo when you post. One for one.
