This butterfly makes a return each and every year. It is one of the few butterflies that is easy to photograph since it tends to stay in one place long enough to focus on. Unfortunately, it also tends to land on boring grass rather than bright and beautiful flowers.
Oh well, it is bright enough with it's bold markings and striped antennae that it brightens a photo enough, I guess! It is so small - only about 1/2 inch across but it really stands out against the grass it is hard to miss!
Thank you, Lou Ann. it is so small - only about 1/2 inch across but it really stands out against the grass it is hard to miss!
