Bedding down for the Night........ by shepherdmanswife

Bedding down for the Night........

I think it's quite clever how this butterfly picked a flower with the same colouration as itself to sleep for the night. It's also in a great position on my hanging basket that gets the first sunlight to help thaw it out and warm it up, ready to fly off. This was taken earlier this afternoon as the sun was getting lower and the temperature was dropping.
Beautiful.

I wonder if they close their eyes when going to sleep! It is a butterfly and not one of those annoying cabbage moths is it? Super focus!
