This pic could win prizes! Fantastic, well done! I take photos of everything in the garden whether it crawls, flys, creeps or slithers. It's good reference material for internet surfing to identify nature in our own back gardens.

Thanks folks. Glad you like my butterfly pic. It hadn't occurred to me that prizes could be won for photos like these??
