Beautiful butterflies and what a great experience. Thanks for sharing, Neil.

I am so glad I live in an area that is not plagued by mosquitoes as they just love me and their bites have always tormented me with large welts and horrible itching. I have lived in mosquito infested areas before and they swarmed around me while leaving others alone, even though I didn't use perfumed products. Have to bath in deet before they leave me alone. Can't imagine what it would be like now with CLL, and am in no rush to find out.
