This is a Baltimore Checkerspot butterfly necturing on a Black Eyed Susan flower that I photographed last week. I was not out looking for butterflies on this day, but there were several of them at the edge of a country road near my home while I was driving with my telephoto lens looking for birds. This species is one of the few local butterflies that I prefer their underwing as opposed to their top side.

Stunning shot! Love how the b-fly is so beautifully positioned on the open flower-it all works so well together.
