    Saw this lovely Cloudless Sulphur Butterfly this morning perfectly camouflaged on this ageing angel trumpet(brugmansia)leaf. Even the spots match. Ain't Mother Nature Grand?

    Amazing. Now if only it could paint its head and antennae too it would be invincible! :eek: (I do mean 'invincible' not 'invisible', imagine an invisible army of those guys!)
