Hide & Seek

Where's the butterfly?



scroll down....





















Oh, there he is.....



Before taking these photos he was on the black aeonium and when I approached he spooked and then he landed on the cactus.  I'm always amazed when butterflies land on this cactus...

Even after knowing about where it was in the first photo, I have went back and still don't see it.  Great pic..

Kim

Well, I went back and looked again and finally spotted it.  :)

Hmmm, I must be wierd.  After seeing the butterfly in the second picture, I spotted him immediately in the first picture.  The white trim on his wings gave him away.   ;)

I will admit I didn't see him the first time I looked at the first picture. Did that make sense???  :D

Mikey, I don't think we have that kind of butterfly around here.  Do you know what kind he is?

The butterfly is a Mourning Cloak.  Here is a photo I previously took of one.

That's beautiful!!!  I guess we should have them, according to my National Audubon Field Guide, but I don't remember seeing one before.  Thanks for the info.   :)
