Thanks, Henk. He was pretty recently "hatched" out the Chrysalis, and I was following him (or her) to see how quickly he found the nectar source and began feeding. He was flying around frantically, then rested on this bloom. I tried for an ordinary portrait of the butterfly on the flowers, but he began to flap his wings just as I pressed the shutter.;
