Cheeky butterfly!

Day 198 - So here I was focusing on a busy bee in the white flower and just as I pressed the shutter a butterfly landed on the flower!

2 for the price of 1 eh? Well done. That's a ringlet by the way, a very old tatty one nearing the end of it's life. Great capture Michelle.

@susiemc I'm surprised it could still fly with the rip to it's wings. Thank you for the name, I'm not up on names - it's taken me years to be able to look at a butterfly without screaming, moths I still can't look at!

How lovely a bee and a bonus butterfly.

That's what I call an exceptionally lucky day. You not only captured it but also in full focus.

Someone has eaten a bit of that one! Gorgeous thing nonetheless, such beautiful colours.

@chrisiow It take me by surprise, lucky I didn't drop the camera!
@sangwann Not sure how I managed it!
@casablanca It amazes me they can fly with bits of their wings missing.

This is a lovely capture - I think tattered butterflies are just as beautiful as the perfect ones, in fact prettier but that may just be me!

@fbailey Thank you - I find them odd as I like things to be symmetrical! :)
