lovely pair
Oho! I feel flattered!! Thanks for the very nice compliment and yes, sometimes I am very fast ;-)...
Beautiful spotting Bayucca!
By the way, one of my students told me some minutes ago: "Bayucca is a "genio" (brilliant), he just identified 3 butterflies and REALLY fast!" =)
Thanks a lot, Isabella!

I couldn't resist sharing this. It is a skipper on a Scabiosa flower head.That is after the petals have fallen off!
