Where I live we have lots of different butterflies. The Peacock butterfly you can see everywhere. They are Beautiful with the blue "Eyes" on the wings. Why they often sit on the dirtroads, like this one, I don`t know. Perhaps anyone here knows?

A beautiful butterfly and photographed nicely Susanne. Even though your background is busy, the butterfly stands out because of its vivid coloring. Nice capture.

I think that butterfly has stopped to rest on that dirt road because of all the different stones embedded in it. It probably thinks the road is as pretty as it's wings are. Beautiful shot, Susanne.

It will leave no stone unturned looking for its mate, Susanne.
First one I have ever scene.
Well done.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

What a beautifully marked butterfly, I have heard of them, but never really seen one. You did super job on the color, and markings in this lens capture Susanne. =^..^=tigs♥

I like your angle or POV here, Susanne. It is unusual and effective. That reminds me one pic of mine at slightly different angle and I will dedicate it to you when I post it so that you know at once what I mean! :)

Susanne - A beautiful butterfly - why it lands on the gravel and dirt - I don't know. Thad

I don't see this type of butterfly in my area, but have seen other types sit on dirtroads. I'm not sure of the reason why either. Excellent detail on this beautiful butterfly & the rocky background makes a great textured background. Nicely captured, Susanne.

Susanne, the answer on your question is quite simple. When people are 'on the road' for a long distance, they got tired. To rest somewhat they can use a (drive-in) restaurant. The same with butterflies, but with only one difference: there are no suitable restaurants for them and if they had them, they couldn't afford the money, so they are 'forced' to 'hit the road', lol. I was just kidding. I'm not kidding by saying that I like your fine post!
