The name of this butterfly is a 'tongue twister' indeed Sandi. I've translated its name into the Dutch language, but it has become even more worse (from 'tongue twister' to 'tongue breaker': "Rode gevlekte paarse zwaluwstaartvlinder." - please give pronouncing this Dutch title a try, lol). I'm 'forced' (please notice the quotes) to enjoy your wonderful image in silence now, my friend.

Not fair Sandi...I don't do tongue twisters well but I do enjoy beholding a good butterfly image. Good one Sandi. You must live near a butterfly nest. You keep supplying these nice shots.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
