Butterfly in the Glasshouse

I took a break from the decorating to visit RHS Wisley. In what is becoming a regular event, the tropical area of the glasshouse had become home to an exotic display of butterflies. Once the camera had aclimatised, and I had divested myself of several layers of clothes, I spent a happy hour wandering around taking pictures of these lovely creatures.

While this one may not be one of the most pretty, it is interesting as if you look large you will see that she is laying her eggs on the leaf - clearly one hoppy creature.
