The "Doris Longwing" I believe. Taken at the California Academy of Sciences in SF, CA. The place was full of wonderful butterflies and birds:) Thanks for looking.
Bruce, I'm not a specialist in identifying butterflies, so I take your narrative for granted. What I know however is that you've provided us with a wonderful butterfly capture. I agree with Sandi about the natural setting. Without your narrative I had thought that it was taken in 'the wild'. Well done, Buddy.
If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!
