While riding my bike I pulled over and started to take a few macro shots of this budding weed on the side of the road. After I'd taken 2 photos, this little fellow landed right in the middle of my shot. I thanked him and grabbed a few captures before he fluttered on to his next location. Oh, and I've labeled this one as such because I think the weed looks a little like a sea anemone.

Fabulous macro. Excellent detail and popping colours on both the thistle and butterfly.

Gorgeous macro shot! The butterfly makes this image even more wonderful.
It does indeed look like a sea anemone.

I'm thinking this is Scottish Thistle, the Scots national emblem. See why here. You've captured the spikiness of the Thistle very well, the moth is a wee bit soft in spots and the top edge of the image cramps the top of the subject a bit.

It is not "The powerful attack the weak." it is "The fearful attack what they fear."
