Here is a fun thing you can do.
Go to, Butterflyutopia.com and buy some butterflies.
They are sent to you in a box with a glass top, pull out the pins holding the top on, and you can carefully pull out the butterflies when you are ready to use them in a set up.
I will pull them off the cotton by the wing but be gentle.
You can have fun finding backgrounds that you can place the subjects on and photograph them.
I would use ferns, downed tree trunks, rocks, plants, burned wood, leaves as the backgrounds.
