I took this photograph of this Painted Lady butterfly last September at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary when they were so prolific in this area. They were everywhere! I thought the side view was so cool. I even like that you can only see its camouflage colors.
What do you think?
Those “golden-tipped” antennae and delicate wings! That perfect proboscis! The deep fuchsia-colored flowers (phlox?)! What a beautiful photo!
Exquisite butterfly, so delicate and beautiful and……an exquisite photo. Thanks for sharing, Mel! You’re the BEST!
