Bahamas Butterfly Photos - Hairstreak and Blues
by Will Cook
Here's a selection of Lepidoptera images from a trip to Grand Bahama, June 16-22, 2010. Biodiversity was not very impressive, but I found a few nice butterflies. All photos were taken using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50, most with the addition of a Sony VCL-M3358 close-up lens.
