Description

This is a close up of my last photo that I had made into a poster, and I was told that it is actually a moth and not a butterfly so like I had said to Oline in my previous post, I guess you never stop learning.. Now if I only knew the name of this moth, I did try to look it up, but I wasn't very successful, all I know is they are very pretty and lovely to watch and photograph, so thanks for all of your comments. If anyone knows the name, or a good site where I could look it up I would appreciate it. We woke up to a nice blanket of snow here, in fact our power had gone out for a while last night, so we are just enjoying a cozy weekend here at home, I wish you all a nice and cozy weekend in your part of the world.

Super shot. Great detail and color. Those folks in Texas don't know what they're missing.

This beautiful moth looks so soft! Love the furry body. And the colors are great. I have seen these, but I don't know the name. Sorry!

This is called the Buckeye Butterfly. Butterflies have antennae that are 'tipped' at the end. Moths do not.

Thanks for the information, and thanks Richard for sending me the sites with more information. I guess my title of 'Butterflies and flowers' still fits then.... whew lol Thank you all for your lovely comments and your help.
