Carpenter's Helper

This beautiful little butterfly landed in the sawdust in our garage today and stayed for the longest time. I thought he might be dying but eventually he flew off. In the meantime I got several shots of him and his curly little proboscis so he is the star of my project tonight in all three albums.

Is he on glass? Or did you smooth out the object he was on? He is FUNKY cool!

Beautiful golden creature. I love it when they oblige you with a pose (like my dragonfly). Wonderful shot!

@deburahiru Thanks, I think it is! cool , huh?

@espyetta He was on a car in the garage that was also covered in sawdust so I blurred it because it was so distracting.

@digitalrn He sat there for at least an hour.
