This should really be seen on full zoom, because it's beautiful; the background is just as vivid and pretty as the butterfly itself. I have no idea of the breed, as I've never seen this sort of butterfly before. I don't know if we have them in the Midwestern USA. I really like that shade of blue; I want to call it cornflower blue, but I'm not sure if it is or not, but it's very relaxing. It's a friendly, soft blue. Easy to look at. And what a pose! This is a gorgeous creature, and I love the soft-focus of the background, too...such lovely patterns. This is beautiful, and those really-tiny flowers add to the image a lot! I really like it!
