Comma Butterfly - Polygonia c-album

[ladylouise62]

They apparently like feeding on fallen fruit.... and I have loads of plums on the ground, so no surprise to see one in my garden
Mind you, I had just changed my lens from the longer one so was damned lucky to be able to get close enough to take this before it flew off!

I love the way that you think of a particular butterfly as one colour range, e.g. brown, or in this case Orange, but when you look at their bodies they are quite different such as blue or green. Don't you just love nature?

Yes, some interesting colours there, nice photo.

Nice capture
They like rotten fruit and other unmentionable things that get left on the ground apparently
