"Beautiful and graceful, varied and enchanting, small but approachable, butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life. And everyone deserves a little sunshine."
--Jeffrey Glassberg-- Take a look at the proboscis... it is curled in a circle... I don;t know if this is typical or unusual.
@milaniet Thanks Milanie... this is the first one of these I've been able to photograph... there were two flying around the butterfly gardens. I've been loving your hummingbird pictures... they are amazing!
@k9photo Thanks Kate.
@radiogirl Thanks so much... I guess it is too cold now for butterflies In your area.
@sherimiya Thanks... the light coming through the wings was pretty.
@marlboromaam Thanks Maggie... I had to grab whatever I could... there were two of these fluttering around so quickly.
