Good morning Earnest,
again a beautiful shot. One must be lucky if their butterfly wings wide apart in order to photograph them.
Dear greetings Christel

Another fantastic shot! Question, are all of these butterflies local? There is a great variety! You must have had a lot of patience to wait for them all to come!

@Elora: Yes all of these butterflies are local but it was an odd occurrence to find them feeding on the same plant. All of the photos to this point were taken on the same day in a span of an hour or so! I added a few more to the series from a different day to finish it out.

These are just all gorgeous butterflies. The comment about the tattoo, my husband feels exactly like you do:) So I do not have any. But if I did it would be a butterfly on the foot:) You take fantastic pictures of them!!
