Antenna

Designer Dots

Butterfly, Blue Morpho, Macro
The seven dots adorning this large butterfly caught my eye while studying the amazing winged creatures at the Butterfly Palace in Branson, MO.

I have no idea what kind of butterfly this is.  It might be easier to identify if I had a photo of the upper side of the wings. Most identification guides seem to show the butterflies with wings open.

This bee was about some serious bee work on the center of a purple cosmos flower. I don’t recall seeing this particular type of bee before – with white hair, orange antennae and a yellowish-green eye. However, this year I’ve photographed several.
