Location: Butterfly Farm, Phuket, Thailand

These images were all captured at the Phuket Butterfly farm, a well-presented attraction that all visitors to Phuket should take time to see. Bit of a cheat from the photographic point of view in that the butterflies are all there waiting for you, but it saves spending weeks trekking around the hills in tropical heat – the heat is fierce enough under the netting at the farm. The delicate beauty of these insects is captivating, and their variety amazing. Image 1-1 shows the leaf-like disguise of one clever species while image 1-2 is the same type of butterfly with its wings open.
