DON'T FIGHT, THERE'S ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE!

Hard decision today, although I hope you don't get tired of the Queens.
I wish everyone could spend about ten minutes in our butterfly garden
right now. There are several varieties, and when I walk out there they
are just everywhere. The Queens are the most cooperative. These two are
joined by three or more milkweed bugs.

This one was quite cooperative: http://www.pbase.com/petesie/image/35229026

Petesie your buterflys shots are sensational.

So cool to see 2 on the same flower, and be able to get such a perfect shot of them. I'm envious.

If it weren't for those dang scorpions, I'd run right down. When I photograph butterflys they sure don't hang out cooperatively.

Beautiful exposure, color, and detail. This is a great photo, and very busy! In a good way!! Must have been a tasty flower. :)

Ouuu, this is very well done. A two-fer and you got them both to hold still for the shot. What great color and focus on this butterflies.
