I don't know what kind of butterfly this is, but it is the first green one I've ever seen. I thought it was just exquisite, with almost translucent wings (which don't really show up on the photo). A beautiful creature! (View full size to get a better look.)
"Have you ever seen a sunset in a perfect sky?
Or noticed the masterpiece we call a butterfly?
We are a witness to these miracles each day.
May it always be this way!"

I don't remember a green one, either, but he looks great on a purple bloom.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a green one either - fabulous catch!
ReplyDeleteNice shot. Green is so weird for a butterfly. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with this one. I love butterflies, I used to chase them for hours when I was little.
