Before I speed off to invest with Abu, the Great, I just have to say that your pictures are amazing. I got home too late last night to do anything but read, so those bright colors and crystal clear photos were just the ticket to relax with. That hairstreak butterfly is the oddest one you've ever shown. I would suppose the fake antennae would be meant to confuse an enemy so said enemy would think the butterfly was watching him. But, so.....? The little winged thing doesn't have boxing gloves or other means of defense. However, his wings weren't ragged so apparently no one has yet attacked.....LOL!

Hmmmm, now I wonder if Abu has Paypal in Afghan or Iraq. His confidential message doesn't mention that.

Hiya ok. Isn't abu persuasive? I'll bet he's a very successful businessman with a letter like that working for him.

A predator wants to strike at the head. It's a quick kill, and if the prey tries to leap foreward to escape, the predator at least hits the body.

Striking the fake antenna gets a harmless bit of wing, or a total miss...
