Butterflies are fascinating creatures, and one of the hardest to capture with a camera while they're in flight - you can't really plot their flight patterns as each one would erratically fly and float in all kinds of directions.
But they are beautiful and can easily mesmerise an onlooker for hours. Butterflies come in all shapes ans sizes, and the colours on their wings are truly unique. It is such an amazement these lovely visions came from a cocoon, metamorphosised from a butt-ugly caterpillar. Well, I guess the adage of "from ugly duckling to beautiful swan" is truer here than anywhere else.
A photography contest themed "Anything Butterfly" was held in conjunction with World Lupus Day. What is lupus? Well, it is a disease that attacks the nervous system and if I'm not mistaken, its telltale signs include a butterfly-shaped rash on the cheeks. Though the disease is found worldwide, not many knew about lupus as it still stayed under the radar all these times.

Nice shots.
I was watching Kindaichi series the other day and there was one particular episode centered on butterflies. One of the scenes showed a photographer explaining that in order to take great butterfly shots, one has to anesthetize the butterflies. -__-
Sounds so lame.
From the shots here, I think no need to knock out these fluttery creatures also can get great pics :P
Butterfliesssss~~~~
Yup, there's a particular one that needs to be coaxed to join the fray... I got the shot, and it's very rare~ *wink wink*
