Description

I do not have a clue what the butterfly is or the flower it is sipping from... Taken in the garden of a friend. Not any time to research! Clive

Nice shot! The butterfly is called "Painted Lady" or "Cosmopolitan" (Vanessa cardui)

What a lovely shot! Whatever the plant is, it goes nicely with the flying critter that's nibbling on it. Something about the sharp angles of leaves and wings. Beautiful!
