Butterfly World images

On Saturday 29th September I went to Butterfly World, and took photos of the exotic butterflies for research for a 3D/spatial project I was doing but thought it also relevant to this because I was able to capture pictures of butterflies in their youth, some becoming old and ripped, catapillars and when they were in cocoons, so thought it would be good to put some of this on here because its all to do with Metamorphosis.

 The flash of blue in the photo shows how fast and difficult it was to catch this particular type of Blue Butterfly, they wouldn't stay still, and when they did, they kept their wings closed!

 This was a lucky shot after a while of waiting and taking numerous photos of a closed-winged butterfly. This is the one shown in the previous picture in flight. It also shows that this is an older butterfly as its losing its colour and wings are becoming ripped.

 This shows another one of the blue butterflies however this one is younger because it is larger and much more vibrant than the one is it next to. The one it is next to on its left shows the outside of their wings, it was a very dark brown with interesting circles and would definately not have guessed that they were such a bright colour inside.

 This shows the catapillars in various stages in cocooning.
