Viceroy

I believe my photo of the Monarch & Frittilary from yesterday was my most popular ever. Thanks! Today I have a Viceroy for those wishing to directly compare a Viceroy to a Monarch. The Viceroy has an obvious black cross band on both sides of its hindwing, and only one row of white dashes along the black edge. August was a great month of butterfly hunting for me (digital captures only!)

Great solo shot of the Viceroy taking center stage. It is beautifully focused, and I like the soft textures of the grasses at the right.
