Insects

This post is all about everything creepy crawly to beautiful butterflies. I find them all beautiful and interesting. Some I have labeled, and I have done my best to be correct. Some have been verified by a lady in Panama that is a butterfly expert. We met her at Canopy Tower when we were doing a birding trip. Some I have not tried to ID them, so I only have where they were seen.
