You have taken an excellent shot. Taking photos of butterflies is a bit like fishing. They are so tricky to catch. Your picture is so inspiring. I spent at least half an hour in the garden this morning trying to get a good shot. I didn't snag a good picture but I had fun trying. Maybe next time. Thanks for sharing

You're right it is like fishing, takes a lot of patience and sometimes..you just come home empty handed, ha.
Thank you for the compliments, I look forward to seeing some of your photos!

it's NOT a moth it's a common buckeye butterfly & one of the best shots I've seen of the species dispite the poor baby having a torn wing

You have some good shots too, They are tricky to take photos of, they don't like to sit still in one spot very long. They are very well camouflaged too, I don't see too many around here, we usually only get the Monarch (or I think they are Monarchs, orange and yellow kinds)
