I’ve been having to get very close to the butterflies with my macro lens, but I decided to stalk them this time with my 400mm lens. I could keep a safe distance without scaring them away and came up with pretty good results on this Gulf Fritillary with its wings outspread. I’ll have to try this more often and see what happens.

Gulf Fritillary Butterfly, Agraulis Vanillae is feeding from a blooming flower. / The Gulf Fritillary, Agraulis vanillae, a striking, bright orange butterfly of the family Nymphalidae, subfamily Heliconiinae. These were formerly classified in a separate family, the Heliconiidae or longwing butterflies, and like other longwings this species does have long, rather narrow wings in comparison with other butterflies. It is not closely related to the true fritillaries. It is a medium to large butterfly, with a wingspan of from 6 to 9.5 cm. Its underwings are buff, with large silvery spots. It takes its name from the fact that migrating flights of the butterflies are sometimes seen over the Gulf of Mexico.

High Brown Fritillary butterfly . Without all this effort there is a great danger of losing the High Brown Fritillary. However, the project in Great Britain is going well and I’m sure we’ll turn things round. We are expecting to see a large increase in numbers next year,” said David Wainwright, Morecambe Bay Limestones Project Officer. So I hope for England, the butterfly is expected to make a comeback. In Italy Alpes are many this kind butterflys, I saw durin my hike there, maybe at least 10 butterflys.

While I was chatting on the phone with my Yorkshire friends, Jesika and Jim, a lovely Gulf Fritillary was flitting about the garden where I was sitting. I captured this image of the butterfly and would like to dedicate it to Jesika and Jim in thanksgiving for their faithful friendship and for Jesika’s inspiring photography work with butterflies; she is the queen of this type of photo and she inspires me to appreciate the beauty of these heavenly creatures. God bless you both, Jesika and Jim! From the U.S. Gulf coast to the U.K. this one’s for you!

This image consists of three layers, the background layer which is a daylily macro, and the two overlapping images, a Gulf Fritillary butterfly and a zinnia. After selecting the background image, I selected two photos to overlay over the original image. I removed everything but the butterfly and the zinnia in those images, copied and pasted them onto the background image, and then tweaked the layers for this effect. I also added a drop shadow to the entire image to give it the black backdrop for contrast. Hope someone likes this; it was lots of fun to put together.
