The Delicate & The Dangerous

Westwood Village, CA

* 3-3-06 *

Kinda like The Beauty & The Beast. When I saw this beauty
land on this beast, I knew it was a shot I needed to hurry
to capture. I'll post more from the cactus garden later &
you'll see that this was not an easy shot to get to, lol.

Nice capture, Colleen! That little critter is a Mourning Cloak butterfly. They're all over the place here in PA. You can read more about them here:

Have fun!
