Today Dan, Elyse, Zachary, and I went to the Fredrick Meijer Butterfly Gardens. Here is Elyse and I trying to be butterflies...aren't we beautiful?!?
Zachary being a butterfly...
This is the only picture that proves Dan was there. So here we are about to enter the Butterfly Gardens.
This was Elyse's favorite butterfly, the Morpho Butterfly. The underside of the wings are brown with eye spots, but the other side is a brilliant blue and black. Unfortunately it was very difficult for Zach to capture a picture when it briefly flapped it's wings, so no picture of the pretty colors! :(
These are Elyse's favorite flowers. She likes the brilliant red color.
This is the biggest moth I have ever seen in the whole wide world!!! It was sunning it's wings after emerging from the cocoon. However, since it is a moth, it wasn't flying around. I think I would have been very much afraid of this huge moth flying around...can you imagine????
This poor little butterfly was hurt and flopping around on the ground. This lady was trying to help it out. I think it lost an antenna though because it couldn't figure out how to move. It just flopping from laying on its "back" to its "stomach." Poor lil fella...
Thanks to Elyse for helping me with this blog!
