Orange tip butterfly

There are at least two orange tips battling it out for ownership of our garden. I hardly ever see them settle because they're always sparring, so catching one perched fleetingly on an iris leaf was a rare pleasure.

What a great photo! You can even see how fuzzy his body is. He's not very coordinated though, the light blue colour clash with his orange-yellow wing tips :-)

I think he's got toddler fashion sense. The outfit my daughter came up with today had a similarly eye-popping effect. It involved three horizontally striped items in wildly different colours, and a pair of purple converse with red velcro straps. It was the sort of thing you can only get away with when you're two and a half, or possibly if you're Mathangi Arulpragasam.
