More delights at Earnley


Heliconius melpomene, Postman
Yesterday Sue, Bea and I met Mark at the Earnley butterfly exhibit for more photography. A lot of butterflies had been released since my first visit on Monday so post processing involved a lot of identification work. The girls enjoyed their visit and the cafe.
All my tropical butterflies so far from Wisley and Earnley can be seen at:

The following three butterflies are possibly all different forms of The Postman,  Heliconius melpomene. This butterfly has many different forms which makes ids of some very difficult (that's my excuse anyway!)
