A super capture of this gorgeous butterfly, Yves. It stands out so well here and I love the compo and vibrant tones. I'm intrigued by the fritillary markings and fancy swallowtail-like wing shape with the white stripe around it. Do you know what kind it might be? I've tried to google this one but could find nothing like it..

Thank you for your nice comments Heather. I am very impress by that butterfly. (Question mark) is realy the name of that butterfly. Put (question mark butterfly) on google search and you will get it. The french name is (Polygone à queue violacée).

Silly me, I should have realized that, lol. It came right up when I googled it. Thanks Yves.

Thank you Jane. Love the colours too.

Beautiful! The butterfly looks beautiful against all the green and sitting posed nicely atop the flower.

Thank you very much Debra. Photography is often a choice between a larger subject showing details or a wider composition showing the subject in the surrounding.. Both were good but I choose the compo to keep the grass on the top left.

Description
My first encounter with that striking orange butterfly. Even at a distance, you can not miss that butterfly in the surrounding.
