I took these photos a couple of days ago and I liked the way a couple of them came out. Each one show this little guy in a slightly different position and you see his little proboscis (the thing he sips nectar with). I hope you like him. He is a Meadow Fritallary (Boloria bellona) in the Family of Brush-footed Butterflies (Nymphalidae) in the Subfamily of Longwings (Heliconiinae). According to my research, these butterflies like Violets and he is sitting prettily on one of my Wild Violets. I hope you like them. This photo is the clearest one I took that day. But, I'm going to post another one of this little guy that is not quite as crisp , yet, it isdefinitely my favorite.
Hugs, Julie
