Someone captured the butterfly knowing my Noah interests. Gave me a chance to take some photos of this beautiful butterfly.

Beautiful!
stunning shots! super detail!
It is a crop of part of the wing of the second photo. I would have liked you to be able to go really full screen on this. Its just amazing!
Cannot take my eyes off the first mosaic-like pic.
Amazing pictures!
Thanks everyone!
grab the moment, that's what living's all about; beautiful detail
Awesome spotting, Johan!
Stunning,,
Thanks for all the comments! It was captured by someone and brought to me last night during the "inactive" period for butterflies and when the temperature was below daytime temperatures. This afforded me the opportunity to take some shots in a more controlled environment. I'm happy to report that the butterfly has been released and has left the spot where I released it last night.
Lovely series, Johan, I just love when I can see all aspects of a butterfly. Thank you for sharing.
Breathtaking! The 1st pic looks like a tapestry! A piece of art!
Very nice series, Johan!
