A prickly situation

We recently went to North Carolina for a week or so. We saw this small butterfly sitting on a cactus at the Sarah P. Duke gardens in Durham.

Lovely close up and detail.

The spikes look lethal Hope the butterfly doesn't get stabbed.

Quite a juxtaposition the soft and fragile butterfly against those hard and sharp spikes.
