One event I look forward to each year is the Butterflies Go Free exhibit at the Montreal Botanical Gardens. (Typically it runs from mid-February to early April.) This year I visited the exhibit on three separate occasions.
I split my time there between the butterflies and the floral exhibits. Though this year I must admit I was a bit disappointed in the orchids. Just didn't seem to as many as in previous years.
Going at different times during the 8 weeks or so that the exhibit ran, allowed me to see a few butterflies I've not seen in previous years.
These are some of the new sightings this year:
Hope you enjoyed these images of some of my favourite things

Great job on the cobra moth caterpillar Gene and thanks for posting the banded peacock, I photographed one at the Niagara Butterfly Conservatory but never knew what it was. Your photo is better than mine btw :).
