I believe this is the first time I have seen one of these gorgeous butterflies visit the garden.

Butterfly wings always are beautiful, but the antennae can be pretty darned cool, too. The various stripes and colors are so interesting; the one’s a beauty all the way around.

These are one of my favourite butterflies with its distinct green-veined underwings and its chalky white uppers. Thank you.

Thank you Indira. If you can always get the eye(s) in focus you stand a good chance of getting a reasonably good photo 🙂

Amazing detail on the head/eye. You must have quite some equipment (and lots of patience) to achieve that!
