Very nice Jim, ....... and man this is one "chunky" looking little guy! A beauty too!!

I do wish that the background was just a wee bit more OOF, as the white streak coming out of his wings distracts, ........ but not much though. Just my tastebuds talking I guess!

Keep'em coming Jim!!

Fine shot, excellent perch. Boy am I jealous! These are endemic to Florida, I'd love to see one in the wild or in a butterfly garden.

Beautiful female Jim. I had opportunities to photograph these a lot when I lived in Florida. In 1980 there was a thriving colony on Key Biscayne. (see fig 461, Audubon Field Guide to the North American Butterflies.) The larvae are espeically striking, bright glossy red with yellow spots, look like candy
