Here's a beautiful Morpho deidamia from Peru. Plus, a 'behind the scenes' image too, for a glimpse of what goes into making the images & what goes on during our tours. We think it's all good fun & our good sport guests do too. On this tour they notched up an amazing 593 species!

We were a bit tied up for a good morning post today, so how about a #LepOverLunch instead? Here's the amazing Kaiser-i-Hind butterfly (Teinopalpus imperialis) in Thailand. Our group will be heading there for this & many more beauties in March - the perfect 'Greenwings' tour!

A memory, a Meleager's Blue from Provence in 2014 & our #butterfly tour there led by a truly great lepidopterist - Tristan Lafranchis. Appropriately for the area, it's on lavender flowers. Taken by Tim N, one of our lovely long-term regulars and friends.
