This is a ruby red lacewing butterfly, and the way it had it’s proboscis inserted into the flower made me think of that moment when we first get a nice thick milkshake, and we are sucking hard on the straw, fighting against the frozen delight to extract it’s sweet creaminess!
One of my favorite insects….

Red lacewing butterfly (Cethosa biblis) taken at the Sachs Butterfly Observatory in St. Louis, Missouri.
a little photoshop magic places the two combatants side by side, which never happens in real life.
Ivan is rapidly growing up, now has at least 4 red feathers on his throat. He will become a very handsome young man, and certainly heir to the throne.

Buckeye Butterfly enjoying a warm day in November.
I love the beauty of these Buckeye Butterflies. Only God could create something this beautiful.
Beauty Of A Thorn This well-known thistle is a true nightmare to all the local farmers. At one point I think there was even a law passed saying that people could be fined if it was found growing unchecked on their property. / It is such an invasive plant that it will take over an entire pasture or field, and farm animals won’t/can’t eat it, and it’s a real problem in the hay. / On the other hand, its a blessing for the many butterflies that migrate through this area, and it provides much-needed food and energy for the pretty little creatures that have such long flights ahead of them, or maybe are just at the end of their life spans. / I have also noticed that hummingbirds love it as well. Being a photographer, I do love its exotic blooms and the many photo opportunities it provides. / The sad but true thing is, the only way to control it is to destroy it completely! It’s amazing that something so beautiful and so useful for the nectar lovers, is also such a thorn in the side for the farmers. / Photo taken along a road side in NW Arkansas, USA.

Hummingbird wings beat 60 to 80 times per SECOND! / AVERAGE AGE: Most hummingbirds die within their first year; those that don’t probably live an average of 3 years or so. You can see the different levels of the wings fluttering at the speed of lightening.
