Last holdout...

This little guy just sat on this flower as I moved around to get the photo. It folded its wings, then turned and spread them for this shot! It think it was posing!

good capture at this time of the year - it is mild in the UK so there have been a few last butterflies around when the sun has been out - I find that usually they will pose like this but close their wings promptly when I point may camera! Great DoF on this
