Bees and Butterflies from Costa Rica

I was in Costa Rica photographing hummingbirds, but as an opportunistic photographer, I shot whatever caught my viewfinders attention.

I’m a bit behind in posting these shots, but I think I finally have all of them properly identified. It is important, vitally so, that you ID all of your images accurately. There is nothing worse than submitting images for publication and discover that you’ve made a mistake!

You can see more of my butterflies and insects as well as order prints…HERE.
