two sides

I find it difficult to capture both sides of a butterfly's wings. Both are visible when flying but it seems that each butterfly chooses to sit still either with its wings open or closed.

In my visit to the Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory last week four types of butterflies allowed me a photographic glimpse of both sides of its wings.
