Papilio cresphontes

I'm loving the Tithonia as a butterfly magnet and perch.

Comments and suggestions always welcome.

Beautiful clean background and a lovely, colorful combination. I think that butterfly was showing off for you- a perfect pose nd the illusion that it is looking at you! (I have no idea if they can see humans....) ;)

Very nice, it's funny how some flowers are particularly attractive to butterflies.
