Very excellent BigDog!
I have in the garage a frame of 4 butterflies from Costa Rica. When my mom went there to vacation, she asked me if there was anything I wanted..
I replied "some butterflies" ..
This was several years ago. I was hoping for something more elaborate, but
I'll dig them up as well and post the photo here.
It seemes appparent that preserving the fragile wings of the butterfly is a difficult task.
But, a Butterfly in the net is worth two in the bush!
