Not a great shot but this guy landed on the window on my patio while I was out shooting birds and I liked the way the sun was shining through his wings and his shadow.

Very nice dca1213. A pity you cut off the shadow of the antennae, but it's different from the usual butterfly images here.

Rusty, yours looks like a male small skipper to me.

Here are some Silver-studded Blues from Saturday morning:

#1


#2 Rather unwisely sitting on a big spider web

@dilettante - Thanks, the shadow kind of self cropped here is the image before cropping and cleaning up, he was on the bottom rail of the window and the shadows were lost at the bottom edge...

Today has been one of the highlights of my already great butterflying year. Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for his majesty, the Purple Emperor. These beautiful insects spend most of their time in the tops of oak trees, but occasionally come down to take minerals from damp soil or animal droppings (which doesn't make for such great photographic backdrops!). The purple colour is irridescent, so you can only see it when the light hits at certain angles.

#1 Open wings, but no purple yet


#2 Mmm, horse poo!


#3 That's more like it!

Went out to play with my new telephoto lens. No birds around here, so I got this instead. Don't know what kind it is (swallowtail?), but there are a lot of them in my local garden...
