Such a lovely set of pics, Jessica. By the way, our local zoo has a butterfly house. My wife and I shall visit it next week.

I’ve never seen a green butterfly. What great camouflage.

Actually it is yellow but it can often seem to be green depending on the light. The male butterfly is a darker yellow than the female which is pale and can be mistaken for a Large White butterfly.
