butterfly orgy

i don't know what was in this muddy puddle of water but these laos butterflies were going crazy for it! there was a literal cloud of them above it and they littered the ground as they bustled for pole position, taking little notice of me even when i reached out to touch them. we came across this amazing sight by a natural spring after hiking for hours through the beautiful countryside just outside of luang prabang.

one of the countless stunning butterflies by igauzu falls on the border of argentina and brazil. this is one on the hand of elard, our guide originally from peru. butterflies are cool. i wonder how they got their name?
