Delicate balance

I was happy to find a butterfly today. We are having extreme heat again and I can't stay out as long as I would like to.

This little butterfly is called a Silvery Checkerspot.

Thank you so much for your views and comments on yesterday's dragonfly! :0)

I have another pic for my other album. It's not a pretty pic. Nature can be harsh sometimes.
