We visited a regional park one morning called Yvytyruzu - and got to explore a small stream and waterfalls (cataratas). We had the place almost to ourselves. The butterflies there were amazing - so many, and so varied. I could have spent an entire day there. They're elusive, though, and photo opportunities were mostly non-existent.

Our friends enjoy the beautiful weather. |

This butterfly was easily 4-5 inches across. The blue on the wings is so brilliant, you initially didn't notice the black. |

These butterflies were about the size of Monarchs. |

Here's the only other visitor to the park while we were there. He was a friendly enough guy, but seemed to be curious about our camera bags, so I hurried down to move them before he decided to get too close to them. |
