Well... where the heck was I when you posted this? congrats! the tattered look is caused by encounter with a bird; no, they don't live only two days.

Congrats! I've never gotten a butterfly. Very well done.

Great shot! Looks like you've been shooting them forever. One summer I took hundreds of pics and ended up with about 10 keepers. And here you nail it on your first try.

You did very well Cliff! I'd print this one!

Been in some butterfly bar fights? This guy's been through the ringer! Beautiful colors, Cliff.

This is a NICE one from you,Cliff. Sharp and clear.

A beauty Cliff. Did I read somewhere that their life span is only 2 days? Can you imagine cramming 80+ years into 2 days. No wonder they are so beautiful.

Being tattered makes it more unique and the pictures has more impact. It's a little melancholy too, as a metaphor of time flying away... Marisa
