what's so fancy about flying bugs?

hi every bloggie!

There's been some strange things going on around here. Lookie! that's my mom below. She's sprouted wings? Oh, well she was off work this past week and touring around those old folks we mentioned earlier. Seems they even went to places- gasp- dogs are not allowed. One being the butterfly place. Seeing it was kinda kool, I decided to allow a post about it on my bloggie.

The garden was enclosed in a 80-85 degree room. Seeing they were trying to keep out of the heat... it was probably not the best venue to visit. Anyways, hundreds of butterfly species were just flying about. Who knew bugs could be beautiful? This one here is a .. I don't know. I think it's related to the Owl Butterfly.

This one is a Scarlet Swallow tail

The next one a blue morpho- so pretty

I think this one is the Hecale butterfly.

Then I thought it got a bit creepy. Look at the cocoons hanging around.

And big massive moths.

Okay- ready to enter the flying bug zone. Check this out, mom got a bit freaked out with them flying at her. Seems she shouldn't be "touched" by a bug. You may want to prepare yourself to lower the volume when she starts to squeak in high pitches. Silly. I think this confirms she is a full fledged woos.

Here's a longer video clip if you want to see more and hear mom babble. Okay tahdah.. here is the owl butterfly. Still creepy if you ask me.

He seemed to attach himself to my grampy's pantaloons.

But the sign said.. no hitch hikers. Owl face fly had to stay.

if you'd like to catch more butterfly action, all the fotos are posted on my flickr page!

Anyways, it was a good thing I wasn't invited. Remember? bugs, fancy schmancy or not, bother me!

and gulp! I don't hesitate to eat them. That would've been a problem with the garden peeps, I think.

Okay enough of those fancy bugs. More funballs time with me.

toodles!
