Something Different

As it was a drizzly morning, on the spur of the moment I thought I would do something random.
I think this is a Tiger Longwing (Heliconius hecale), they can (normally) be found in Central America and further south in the Amazon, rather than a damp Seaforde Butterfly House in Co Down.
There were lots of beautiful tropical butterflies to see, some never really settled long enough to photographthem (particularly the very large Blue Morpho) & it took 15 minutes or so for the camera to acclimitise to the environment. I really enjoyed my visit & plan to go back another time, taking time to visit the gardens as well.
