2011-11-02 Butterflies

I wouldn't normally make a gallery of one species of butterfly.
However, these beauties were intriguing and posed so provocatively that it was hard to stop.
If it's any consolation, this is a small sampling of the photos I took. Enjoy.

If you can't see it, click the pic, then select "O" from Sizes on the tool bar and the ant will be clearly visible.
And there it is again. Aren't you glad I noticed that when I took these photos? Okay, so it was in the words of painter Bob Ross "A happy accident." I don't care, I'll take it.
