The picture is a little fuzzy, I couldn't get just real close and after doing some cut/paste to get a closeup picture it went fuzzy on me.
He (the females are darker to avoid predators) flitted all around the yard enjoying a snack here and there.

Glad you all like my butterfly.
He is the first one that sat still to have his picture taken. When I do see a butterfly in the yard I usually find a picture of it online and print it out to keep in my gardening book.
