Butterflies

[Angler]

I took my daughter to the Butterfly Pavilion today. Unfortunately, I used my point and shoot because my wife had her DSLR at work.

They had a bunch of other bugs, but I couldn't really get any good pics. Here are some Madagascar Hissing Cockaroaches:

Still good pics. The colors on the first one are amazing! It's a shame those gigantic blue morphs always have their wings closed. It's impossible to get in flight shots of them.

Thanks. Yeah, a lot of them have great colors.

lol. Maybe you had a traumatic experience when you were little or something. I didn't get to look at the tarantulas much because there were like 2 fieldtrips there and kids running everywhere.

Thanks. They were easy subjects since most of them just sat there. I used a Nikon Coolpix.

Great pics!

One side note, those aren't Madagascar hissing roaches. They look like Guyana orange spotted roaches. I only say this because I have a 1000+ of them in a 10 gallon aquarium at home. I breed them and feed them to all my lizards and fish.

Thanks for the correction. There was another type of roach next to the ones pictured, so the other ones must have been the Madagascar type.
