Lacewing

When we landed in St. Thomas, I was expecting white sand covered beaches and blue water just like the Bahamas. Unfortunately, the harbor is an enormous tourist trap, and you need to walk or take a taxi in order to get away from the jewelry stores.

One good thing, though, was the Butterfly Farm located near the harbor. You get to walk inside an enormous cage with butterflies floating everywhere, making it a photographers dream. It was hard to capture some in flight, but when I found this one on a plant, it was nice enough to cooperate for long enough for me to get off a few shots.
