One of the most magnificent butterflies, so rarely they arrive here, but I just love seeing photos of them, stunning shot.

Earnest - this series just gets better and better! The butterfly on the tuft is perfection - and then my eyes see the little insect flying below -- in perfect focus! I'm awed by your work here.

Oh, this is one of my faves of the series. The classic Monarch and the bonus bee and the blooms look beautiful, too.
