I enjoy butterflies & orchids, so it is always nice when they come combined, such as this Black-veined White nectaring on a Lax-flowered Orchid.
Taken on the @greenwingstours.bsky.social Orchid Odyssey tour, which you can join this coming spring, 1 - 8 April 2026.

Here's a couple of 'close but no cigar' flight shots of a Plain Tiger and Painted Lady. Close to going in the bin, but kept and shared to show that a big % of these shots don't go 💯% right.

A female Danaus chrysippus. Common names are Plain Tiger, African Monarch, or Sultan, depending on where you are in the world. That hints at the how widespread a species it is.

Orchid of the moment here is Spiranthes spiralis.
Orchids of spring are a whole different story, and a fantastic one at that! Join me & friends to share it, on the original & ultimate Orchid Odyssey tour.
