I’m lovin’ all of these, but it’s hard to avoid being repetitive! 🙂
Thanks Gunta, and I know what you mean. I plan to post one more butterfly, something special. I’m back in the field with my camera – started deer-watching last night (a major recreational activity in this here neck of the woods). Feeling inspired to post the results later in the week.
Glorious colours, Nick! Love their descriptive name too. Are the larvae as colourful?
