A beautiful macro shot of the painted lady, Rosa. I have seen one of those yet this year. I have seen plenty of small tortoiseshells, peacocks and red admirals. Cheers, Joe

Thank you Joe. I haven't had a single peacock butterfly in the garden this year, as far as I know.
Cheers, Rosa.

The 'tattered lady' has probably already had a long life - so late in the year. May she have a beautiful autumn...

Thank you Udo. Yes, I hope she does.

D'une beauté fascinante et naturellement belle. Merci d'avoir partagé ces informations.
Bonne et agréable journée.

Thank you very much Malik.
Good evening.

Man merkt immer Ende des Sommers,dass die Schmetterlinge immer etwas ramponiert sind liebe Rosa,aber du hast diesen Schmetterling super aufgenommen,der Fokus sitzt toll auf dem Augen und ich habe dein Objektiv gesehen,das hast du ganz toll gemacht :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Tag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Wonderful, Rosalyn!

Superb images, Rosalyne

I always have difficulty getting this kind of subject. Looks like you did good here. Well done.

Regards. Herb

A very well captured pair of images Rosa. The Painted Lady is past its prime, but that is to be expected at this time of year, and it is still a beautiful little creature.

I really like both photos, but the one in the PiP just edges into the lead for my for the slightly better detail in the eyes!

Good to see your Buddleia still flowering.......mine have been dead and gone for a while now. The only butterflies I've seen the the garden lately have been Cabbage Whites and very few of those as well.

Fantastic shot in very nice colors, Rosa !

What a wonderful capture, Rosa! Well, both of them :-)
