Nature and Mothers

Welcome to the March 5, 2012 edition of nature photography.

My entry for this carnival is about the Dingy Swallowtail Butterfly.  My husband found this butterfly on the ground near an Oleander bush on the weekend. It had a damaged wing and could not fly.  I picked it up to put it somewhere safe to photograph it but it didn’t want to let go of my hand. Hubby took it and I got this shot and then we placed it in the Oleander bush high up, safe from predators on the ground. It stayed there for around 48 hours (through intense rain periods) and then disappeared.
