  This is the same butterfly that was in the prize winning shot I have. I followed it around and got different backgrounds. White peacock is one of my favorite species. Thanks for all the great comments!

  Beautiful! I love the enfolding of the spreading wings.. Since we have been getting cooler temperatures here, the butterflies what few we had, have disappeared.
