Description
I was walking around looking for something to take a photo of,and this guy was just sitting on a fig leaf. So since he was sitting their doing nothing,thought I would put him to work and have him pose for me,lol. Ok this is a Red-spotted Purple (Limenitis arthemis), as you can tell he is a bit ragged so in butterfly terms he must be a few days old. Hope you enjoy this one.

Such a beauty! Nice of him to sit and pose for you like this. Seems quite ravaged...he must hang out in bad neighborhoos.
Actually he was in a bad neighborhood. He was just a few leaves down from the june beetles in my other recent photo. So I figure he had tried to get some of the fig and met with some resistance.lol
Even with wing bruise he is such a beautiful creature! Love those metallic colors!
Nice wing colours though.Like a bird almost got him.Narrow escape

You're so lucky to get blue butterflies, and dragonflies for that matter! This one is just beautiful, and he shows us that it's a tough world out there, even for insects lol. Beautifully composed and great lighting =) I love it!!
