Butterflies of Panama
In late May and early June of 2008 I spent two very wet weeks in Panama. I was based in the Canopy Lodge and all my time in the field was based on day trips from this location. The Lodge provided excellent accomaditions and food as well as transportation and the services of a driver. In spite of the unuaslly wet weather I was able to see and photograph many butterflies.
