So my wife inadvertently participated in a three-way

at the butterfly conservatory in Key West



It was pretty funny when some other visitor said "Oh look they're fornicating on you!" then looked around and noticed all the kids (some were even hers lol) and you could tell she was embarrassed to have said that out loud. The guide came over and said "It's nature!" and generally made her feel less scandalized but did nothing to stop the orgy.

Here's some more Butterfly pics (And it wasn't just butters fly either)










On the way down to Key West we stopped in Key Largo and rode on the African Queen - the real one fro mthe movie. Captain Brian let us steer for a little bit.





Key west was a LOT of fun but OPPRESSIVELY hot. Thank goodness for beer!

I should add these were all taken with my Galaxy Note 5. I think it does pretty well but I'm excited to get back into taking pictures with my "real" camera. (Hence the other thread seeking lens advice).

12. Reminds me of the time I went to a Butterfly House
Fri Aug 11, 2017, 08:23 PM
Aug 2017

with a group and two women were frightened about all the fluttering creatures. Two landed on her shoulder and her friend informed her of the butterflies on her. She half-turned to me, I was behind her in the group , and she said in a timid voice, "What are they doing?"

I replied, "I think they are making little butterflies."

Both she and her friend laughed and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon.

Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures!

ON EDIT.

I don't think the definition applies to any non-human species.

Fornication:
1.
voluntary sexual intercourse between two unmarried persons or two persons not married to each other.

Though I doubt that "copulate" was within that person's vocabulary.

Grew up down in the Keys, July and August are the worst for heat.

Beautiful pics of the conservatory, thanks for sharing.

I can't get over the beautiful pattern on the wings in the first photo. Even the second photo is an interesting design.

The first photo reminds me of patterns in the arts and crafts movement.

Thanks for posting your photos. I enjoyed all of them.
