This seemed to me like the size of a monarch or a little larger, and I wonder if anyone knows what it is called. It seems unusually plain colored for a butterfly except for the bright blue trim on the tail.
thistle the un-appreciated flower... they are beautiful indeed. Photo composition is very well done
Thank you for the look and your kind comment about the composition. You're right, thistles are under-appreciated and a beautiful and interesting flower. ---T
