Beautiful butterflies at the Zoo in Prague

Butterflies are such beautiful insects and maybe even my favorite ones. There are so many different species and they have so many differen beautiful colors and patterns. Most of them simply unique. But during the warmer time of the day most of the butterflies are not so easy to photography since they often flee when the recognize a movement or if you get too close to them. Morning time is usually the best time for butterfly photography since they are still in a kind of stiffness and they only move slowly. This makes it a lot easier to get close to them and make some closeup pictures of these animals.

At the Zoo in Prague it was not so easy since they moved a lot. But due to the bigger amount of butterflies yet it was possible to get some nice shots. Butterflies help to polinate differents flowers and help them to reproduces. Some of the flowers cannot be polinated by bees because oth their lack of an proboscises. Butterflies on the other hand have a proboscises and are able to polinate special plants with longer tubuses.
