I’ve been putting together calendars every year since 2013. This was put together in 2019, before Covid hit.
January

March

We went to see a collection of tropical butterflies in Stainz, Austria. We could wander through the exhibition hall, surrounded by butterflies. I don’t have any more information about this one, so I googled it and I could buy one, live, from Amazon or ebay….. Wow. Still no info where it lives in the wild.

@Baud:
You’re only allowed to post 10 pictures, so those months were axed.
