I can't see where the butterfly is hiding his zoom lens.

What a wonderful photo. It is so sharp I feel like I could reach out and touch the butterfly.

Beautiful image and excellent lighting and have been trying to id the butterfly! Was it a Western or Lorquin's admiral, or something other than those?

The photo was taken in Idaho--does that help ID it? I don't have a book.
Yes it greatly helps, and the Lorquin's Admiral pictured in my "Butterflies of North America", guide book on page 160 looks almost identical to your image! Thanks, and beautiful image!

Thank you, Swamp-Cork, for the butterfly ID and the kind words. I love butterflies, but it's rare to get one posing like this. A happy accident.
