Very nice shot, great color and background.

That is why a lot of butterflies have those colorful spots on the rear wings: a target for predators which are non-life threatening if targetted. Great shot as always.

Beautiful capture, Dave. Really beautiful work.

And it works really well. I see quite a few butterflies in my garden with parts of wings missing.

Thanks. Plenty of opportunities when you spend too much time in the garden instead of working.
