Color Match!

This is a Red Spotted Purple Butterfly - never heard that one before. Those spots definitely were more orange than red and I'm not sure where the purple comes from, but the picture matches the one in the book perfectly. Liked the way his background did. And besides, butterflies are few and far between this year!

Gorgeous comp and love the background bokeh Milanie!
I don't see very many butterflies here either, too bad they are beautiful to watch!

They are indeed in short supply. This is a great shot and a very special sighting by the sounds of it.
