Clipper butterfly

A lovely morning at the butterfly house with an unexpected spell of warm sunshine bringing down all the butterflies. 
In a total contrast to Sunday, it was really busy with a couple of nursery school visits and quite a few children. 
Watching them delight when a butterfly landed on their head/arm was priceless. Now I remember why I do this :) 

Not much chance to take many shots, but here's my new favourite butterfly - the Clipper from South and Southeast Asia. For some reason we have loads of these so I suspect that they must have successfully bred this season.
