Bubali Preserve, Aruba
16 June 2011
Here are a few butterflies from a recent family vacation to Aruba. Most photos were taken around the tidal flats across the road from the Marriott complex in Palm Beach, in and around the Bubali Preserve, or around the plantings on the grounds outside the Aruba Butterfly Farm, which was nicely planted with nectar plants to attract the native, wild butterflies. It was also a good place to look for native hummingbirds which nest in the vicinity. Enjoy!
