Red bokeh
Not the best photo of the butterfly, but the bright red bokeh is so welcome today. 6C and rain, rain and more rain : ) I suspect this weather will bring down a lot of the golden leaves from the trees, ready for the arrival of winter weather. It is supposed to turn sunny again, though, in a couple of days. Photograph taken at the Calgary Zoo on October 4th - very few butterflies to be seen, as the indoor, tropical butterfly season comes to an end.
The closest I can come to for an ID is Tiger Longwing, Heliconius hecale. The butterfly in my image does have quite a large off-white patch on the hind wing, though, so I'm not 100% certain with my ID.
