Perfection

We are all butterflies, earth is our chrysalis ~ LeeAnn Taylor

This beauty has been hanging around my garden for a few days and was sitting so still I thought I would take a shot. She is covered in fairy dust it seems to me, gold, silver and blue... just beautiful.

Thanks so much for stopping by and for the amazing response to yesterday's rainbow lorikeet which is now on the PP. I will eventually catch up with everyone.

Papilio aegeus (Orchard butterfly/Citrus swallowtail butterfly)
