In addition to my Dragonflies of Thailand blog , I have recently taken an interest in butterflies. Well, I have always liked them, but concentrated too much on dragons. Now, I aim to capture as many photos as possible on my dragonfly travels. I will continue in the same style as my dragon blog. However, I am relying heavily on IDs by others as I am useless at the moment.
