Not much value to the guide, but I just think it's a pretty shot.

I have to disagree :-)
This is a GREAT shot for the guide, regardless of the missing data for this farm-raised specimen. Very pretty; the cropped flowers make for a perfect frame.

Farm Raised
How can he tell it's farm raised? Are there certain features that are different than a wild one? Just curious, because I'm pretty sure all I ever see is the wild ones.

My fault
I should have mentioned this was at the Living Desert Butterfly House. (I had mentioned that on previous posts)

Oh Good
Oh, good! I thought that here was another technique I'd never be able to learn, that of the ability to differentiate between wild and tame Butteflies. But, seeing as how this Butterfly was only in a Butterfly house instead of having special features all it's own, that takes a relief off my mind! Thanks for telling me this.
