Dear Mr. Patton, Could you please let me know if I could use your amazing pictures for my schoolexamproject about local Aruban butterflies. I have organized a butterfly walk next week and would like to make an ID chart and your pictures would be a great help for my group to help them spot the local butterflies. The ID chart is not for sale or will not be used for any other selling purposes but just to use during a nature walk to help spot the correct kind of local Aruban butterfly. Hope to hear from you soon, Kind regards, Chantal Jacobs-van Ruijven
