    Lovely butterfuly. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one quite like it. Very stunning capture!

  • This was taken at a University campus. Once a year they open it to the public to showcase some of the butterflies they have. Thank you Yvonne

    Wow Tracey, beautiful capture!

  • Thanks … not easy to capture them as they stay for a couple seconds and off they go again.
