@tunia Yes, that's his true color. I spent a lot of time online trying to identify this butterfly to give it a proper title . . . no success. I feel certain it's a common butterfly but I couldn't find any online that looked just like this one. I'm sure our 365 butterfly experts can help with an identification. :-)
What a beautiful photo, Gayle! What a sweet little butterfly! This *may* be the sort I see flitting around the flowers in my yard...there are two together all the time...but they never alite for long! I can chase them for just so long! Nicely done to you! And IF I get my photo, I look forward to seeing if it's the same as yours!
