Butterflies are becoming more and more scarce around here - even out at the Forest Service garden - so I had to include him when I finally found one.

Lovely pov and dof - another beauty!
Sorry to read that your butterfly population is falling - such a shame. But I've noticed in Nature that species' populations will decline for a number of years but then build back up again - but it can take quite a while. Let's hope that's the case here.

Hmm, that last sentence was not very well worded! I mean, let's hope that the population will build back up.

Beautiful shot Milanie! So colorful.

Beautiful, and of course he is on butterfly weed. Nice POV too. Ours are scarce too but I am encouraged by the number I have seen this week.

Wonderful capture! It's the same here. Butterflies are scarce right now.
