Lovely! Those eyes are indeed beautiful!
lovely :)
I agree Hayden G. They may not be as colorful as a Monarch or Red Admiral, but I love their beautiful eyes and I love that they keep me company on my woodland walks.
Love these guys? I often see them fluttering about from tree to tree in the forest during the summer months.
