Orange tip butterfly

[nanila]

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.

He does have the attitude of a little bruiser.

I've tried to snap butterflies before, and rarely get them motionless. What a beauty.

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 :-)
