Colors underneath

It amazes me how different butterflies look open or closed. This is another Variegated Fritillary. It looks very different than the one I posted Tuesday that was open.

Thank you so much for your support of my project! :0)

Random thought for the day.
I feel conflicted when I use insect repellent, before I go outside to look for insects to photograph. :0)

Love your shot! We had a match again today (though I didn't post it. Our shots were nearly identical) Our environments must be nearly identical.

Yes, it's interesting how different both sides can look. We have one that looks like a dead leaf when the wings are closed but is beautifully-patterned on the other side. The lovely Black Jezebel that I sometimes post is just plain white on the underside and not remarkable at all. This one of yours is pretty on both sides.

I just asked the question on my photo tonight, "do butterfly lovers have a preferred view?" I think you've answered it! Beautiful

[Livia]

Beautiful shot, I can see its wings so clearly! Fabulous colors. 8) (I don't have the habit of using insect repellent, so I end up getting eaten by the mosquitoes, haha.)
