Imean, isn't this perfection. Never seen the red spots before. What Global Firm do you work for, if that is not too personal. Curious as my husband worked in Paris, many moon ago, and they were thinking global at that time.

Thanks Wells! Neither have I, but how many chances do I get to examine one up close? I think 2 so far. :) I just read that only females sport the red/orange spots on the hind wings. Males don't have the red or the blue.
