I have to get to bed- day 3 of paper route coming up. Here's a lovely Red-Spotted Purple Admiral butterfly intergrade. It's known as an intergrade between the White Admiral and the true Red-Spotted Purple Admiral. Scientific name is Limenitis arthemis astyanax.

Now give me that beauty over a tarantula any day of the week!
Beautiful :-) Butterflies rarely stay still long enough for me to get a photo :-(
Great butterfly picture--they are very pretty! I don't see too many around here.
Beautiful. I like that you posed it against the pine needle background.
Thanks for the info and the fine photo!
Beautiful, makes me think of my brother as a kid butterflies were everywhere and he loved them, chased them, collected them, studied them while everyone else was playing baseball.
You're a paper boy/person now?
it's beautiful, nice shot
nice capture
carmen- yes, the colors are definitely better!
John- I get lucky once in a while
Karen- that's sad- many butterfly species are in trouble, but I wonder why you don't see many at all
vanilla- yes, I worked really hard on that... and the lighting too. hahahahaha
Jean- it's the two halves of my brain- love the beauty, but have to know what it is
Jean- thank you- the butterfly cooperated by holding still
Sandy- childhood collections often lead to adult professions- papers are hubby's job- he's off for his yearly vacation
Ann- i do love the colors in this one.
hi IP- thank you
