As common as...

Common Crow butterfly. A 365er pointed out that maybe that's their name because they are as common as crows. These guys are even more common than crows around here.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions on my long exposure shots. You are all so supportive!

Love your background colours and the wispy hairy detail on that flower is awesome. The butterfly is super cool too.
