If nothing ever changed, there’d be no butterflies. (Author Unknown)

The photos in these collages were taken at the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls on a recent visit. A beautiful glass-enclosed, tropical setting, heightens the experience of being with these “lovely critters.” Butterflies are weird little critters. They have taste buds in their feet, which they use to decide if the leaves they land on would make a good home for their children. They have eyes that see in the ultraviolet and infrared, so what we see as a white pansy is actually a multicolored neon “Eat Here!” sign to them. And they have noses on the end of their antennae, which they use to sniff out flowers that are full of nectar.
