Then my inner voice, said, no I had better wait for your written entry. Then affirmation that it is indeed a type of butterfly. I suppose the old saying is true...trust your instincts!<BR/><BR/>I like it a lot, especially against the red background. I looked at it closely before I read and the image looks sculptural, like bone fragments arranged in the shape of a butterfly.

That's amazing how they have such good camouflauge (ha probably why there is so many of them!) Your image does look like smooth shiny sea shells, very pretty! It's amazaing how insects can adapt. One time we saw a moving thin stick on a tree branch and it was a caterpillar that looked exactly like a twig!
