Good morning Earnest,
again a very nice recording. This time, the white flowers very well to the application.
In friendship, dear greetings Christel

I'd love to have such a day where I got so many awesome shots all at once!

@Candace: I added a couple more shots from a return day (I couldn't stay away.) The second visit wasn't as fruitful though.

@P J W Miller: It's very common here, Peter but not seen too far from water.

Sometimes it's hard to tell which butterfly you're looking at. I get the "best guess" comment. Do you have an identification book?

@Bookfool: I start here: http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/

If that doesn't work then I sometimes do arcane things like search google images for a clue.
