Cabbage Butterfly on Salvia

I got outdoors early today before the heat and saw this butterfly in the front garden.

Perfect! I love the white and blue! Fav
I haven't seen many butterflies at all this year but lots of damsel flies though - have a look at my one from today, he's smiling!!

I love these little white guys - they're awfully hard to find sitting still though (and I'm glad to know his name!) You did great! Love him against the blue salvia.

@fmphoto I use a long lens 75-300 all the way out usually. I manually focus and sometimes use the sports program with a high shutter speed to stop the action.
