Spotted this lovely at Defries Garden, this took a heavy crop.

I found out the name of this one ( Red spotted purple ).

I appreciate your comments, thank you.

I have been having issues with my internet connection, and I called it in today. So it might be a hit and miss for me for awhile. It seems that every day I loose connection, and after many tries I get it back. I finally had enough of that, so now I play the waiting game for them to come to the house. :)

Thanks Laura, I know it's not a viceroy they look almost like a Monarch. Thank you for your comment.

Lovely butterfly Sandi - it could a type of admiral butterfly there are several different kinds and colors. Lovely shot of it on the butterfly bush - I guess those really do attract the butterflies.

Hope that your internet problem will be resolved soon, my friend!

You've got the name right...I've tried to capture these and,they are one of the fastest moving butterflies. I can vouch for that! So kudos to you for catching this! Great work.

I was going to say it looks a tiny bit like a swallowtail but the wings are different. Nice shot of it rest/feeding.
