kinda cool is right
This image does look cool. Where in Vero did you take these and the butterfly pictures if you don't mind?

This and the butterfly pictures were taken outside my laboratory at the Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory (FMEL). I waste quite a bit of time with this photography when I should be inside working with my colonies.
We are adjacent to ORCA, the Oslo River Conservation Area, on Oslo Road east of US1. Our grounds abut ORCA and so I go walking back there a lot. There are mangroves and Oak/Palmetto forests, and south of Oslo are some slash pine habitats. Drop by sometime if you are in the area.
