Thank you darceyangel. This beautiful butterfly stayed around for about 5min so I was able to get quite a few shots in. I never raised butterflies. I should since I have quite a big aphid problem :)
I love these butterflies! I raised one in second grade. Great camera work
Ashish, It's apparently one of the most widespread butterflies in the world according to Wikipedia.
Thank you Thurd13!
Beautiful series + butterfly
Cindy... Your spotting is telling its widest distributed Organism... Same like here in India....
