Taken at the Thames Butterfly House on the Coromandel Peninsula. They are quite challenging to photograph as they’re constantly on the move. The butterfly is Heliconius melpomene, also called the postman. There are numerous colour variations in this butterfly so sometimes it can be very confusing. It is a well-known and common butterfly raised by the thousands for live displays. One thing I must mention regarding the photo, which many people will miss: on its curled-up proboscis a layer of pollen can be seen. This group of butterflies is about the only butterfly that can utilise pollen – most butterflies can’t. They collect the pollen on their proboscis, exude some digestive juices onto the pollen and when the pollen is liquified, they suck it up again. In human terms, yuck!

The Postman Butterfly is poisonous and it comes from South America. There are many forms of this butterfly and they are rather hard to recognise from each other because of their very similar markings. It´s catterpillars feed on passion flowers. Photographed in Butterfly Gardens in Knokke-Heist.

BEST VIEWED LARGE The little bay of Portman nestle under the soaring hills of a national park and it is unspoiled and quite. Portman has a history dating back to Roman times and for two thousand years it was an important source of valuable minerals. The beach has been discoloured from the mining. The mountains are richly coloured from all the mining. Mining was prominent in the area at the turn of the 20th Century although dates back to Roman times. / Nikon D40 18-55mm lens © Copyright 2008 Squealia, All Rights Reserved

Suicide Note
by RebeccaWestonMy tears fell. That was something new / For I hadn’t shed one tear for you / Speaking to me from beyond the grave / Asking forgiveness, your…
Before the suicide note there was a Suicide Pact but I got left behind I cannot go into the details which surround this suicide but I feel that I should add this, as I don’t want to cause upset to anyone. Suicide Pact and Suicide Note relate to myself and another person 12 years ago. / My whole life was turned upside down by his death. I was left with so much mess that everything I had worked for; self-respect, respect of others, position and financial security all came crashing down around me – I ended up with nothing! It is for that reason that I refer to him as a coward. Also, I am writing about my feelings at the time that it happened and it is not unknown to be angry with the person for leaving you behind. I will never know if it was brave to stay or brave to die, as I had a child to stay for. These were not easy for me to write because it is not easy to admit that you had considered taking your own life. Featured by Anger Management – 13 Jul 2009 / MCN: C7815-C1725-9F014
