Ringlet butterfly

Ringlet moth butterfly sitting on web-strewn aquilegia leaves. Click to view full-size - I was really happy with the level of detail the precise focus brought out in this photo.

Stunning. It looks like velvet.

Yes - it was hard to resist the urge to touch it. My daughter (who is a little under two) pointed at it saying "buffle", which is how she says butterfly. I tried to explain about feathery vs club-ended antennae but I'm not sure she took it on board. :P
