Gatekeeper on Euonymus

Lovely photo Spritz :)

The camera got a little damp - so did I! I had to get a breath of fresh air...

Great shot..seen one this morning.By the time I've got the camera it has gone

Great picture Spritz...glad he stayed long enough to pose for you ! Lol

Great shot Spritz ,well done !

Thanks....:-)

Flighty lot those Navy types......... :~))

very pretty and so soft looking

It is such a deep velvety colour, even tho' it's a small one!

Not seen one of these butterflies in my garden, great photo!

Oh lucky you Spritz....he's gorgeous! I haven't seen one of these before....:o)

I don't think they are rare? Watch out, and you might well see one!

Good pic... butterfly contrasting well with the euonymus background..

If anybody's still interested after 6 years, the butterfly is not rare and is a Gatekeeper. We get them sometimes around here. Its a lovely photo - so hard to catch butterflies on camera as they seem to know and fly off at the crucial moment...

That was a *long* time ago, Stera!

True. I was just having a browse through some members photos.
