The Como Zoo & Conservatory had a wonderful Butterfly Exhibit going on this summer. Different butterfly's were availble to be seen at different times of the summer.

I believe this is a Red Admiral

White Peacock

Queen Butterfly

Small Postman

Red Admiral

I think this is a Small Clipper


This colorful Butterfly was my favorite, but I do not know what it is called. The zoo handed out a cheat sheet of butterfly's in the exhibit, but this one is not listed. Any ideas?

Malachite

Malachite again - I ket trying to capture this photo, the sun was giving me some dificulty. Here it almost looks like stained glass.
Clipper

Paper Kite

Blue Morpho

Another Paper Kite
Owl Butterfly
There were many other butterfly's but they were hanging out on the mesh interior so I didn't really photograph them. I spent probably 45 minutes in the exhibit just taking my time, looking for good shots.
Labor Day was the last day of this exhibit & I hope that it will return again next year.
