Description
This critter sat still (well, as still as the wind would let it) and let me get thisclose. If I knew what the species was offhand I would have posted the name.
Update: did some research and figured out what it was. This one was spotted in northeastern Illinois area.
Camera: Pentax Optio 33LF Picture taken using macro mode.

Yes, the rare Northern Illinois Dalmation Butterfly. You should have caught it. If you can collect 1650 of them, you can make a coat.
Beautiful capture. I have never seen a white spotted butterfly before. Aloha
How beautiful she is!!!!
I like the antenna which are like jin-ricksha handles.
Looks a lot like a Holly Blue (Celastrina argiolus) to me, comparison pics here: http://www.eurobutterflies.com/species_pages/argiolus.htm Beautiful capture here btw !! :o)
