Lorraine and I hope you enjoy looking at these pictures - even though they are probably not the best ever taken of Butterflies! If you are an expert on Butterflies and any of the pictures show a different Butterfly than we have labeled it then do please email us with the details. Similarly if you come across any web sites on Butterflies then let us have the URL and we will link to the sites.
