This page is a combination portrait and macro-closeup
study of a number of West Coast butterflies. When possible
I show both the upper and lower surface of wings to aid with the
identification of the butterfly, but these guys aren’t all that cooperative.
There are detail shots and cool closeups wherever possible (same caveats).
