Captive

I saw this poor little guy being held captive by the suction of the compressor unit of the AC. I went in the house and turned it off so I could gently remove him and then made sure he was OK after I took this rather poor shot of him

[Lou Ann]

He’s beautiful and I know he’s so glad you came along!

[Diana]

He is one lucky butterfly, lovely shot of the beautiful markings.

[JackieR]

@louannwarren @ludwigsdiana @30pics4jackiesdiamond @henrir @judithdeacon @gijsje @summerfield thank you one and all for your kind comments on this not particularly good photo. It means the world to me if you still stick by me. What a nice thing to say Vikki.

Well, God did say for us to take care of the world He created and I guess in that perspective this little fellow would fall under the category "the least of these". How sweet of you to turn off the air conditioning and give him his freedom. I should know what kind of butterfly he is, but I'm too sore tonight to dig out the bug book and all I can think of is "checkerspot" and I know he's not that! LOL

[katy]

@olivetreeann hat a nice thing to say Ann. You know more than I already about what kind it is. Most of them fall under the category of "pretty" for me!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@grammyn It's my curiosity. I just like to know the names although apparently I don't retain what I've learned as far as butterflies go!

[katy]

@olivetreeann LOL

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It's a Painted Lady- just had to identify it! Now you can sleep peacefully tonight. (o:

[katy]

@olivetreeann Whew! thanks!

[Diane]

So glad you rescued him! He's beautiful.

[katy]

@eudora sorry I am so far behind Diane. I read this earlier but just now have the time to respond. I am happy you like it and what l did!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

You are the sweetest!

[katy]

@ruthmouch you are easily impressed ♥
