Three New Butterflies!

Southern Broken Dash Skipper
In my garden at Roca Verde, Atenas, Costa Rica

Smyrna Blomfildia butterfly inside my house on window screen.
Atenas, Costa Rica
Turquoise Emperor butterfly
In a neighbor’s yard, Roca Verde, Atenas, Costa Rica

I’m getting more photos at home than I do at some of these butterfly farms! And I never tire of this! Also so glad I went to the trouble and expense of starting a flower garden two weeks after moving in! It has really paid off! In just two months! I’ve lost count of the butterflies I’ve photographed here, and that is in addition to 5 species of Hummingbirds photographed! My Costa Rica Butterflies Gallery  is up to 19 species now, but not all from my yard!

May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.
