Brimstone butterfly

I am thrilled to have taken this photo. Brimstones visit our garden every summer, but I've never seen one actually have a lengthy rest in it, let alone allow me to get this close with my giant macro lens and pap it repeatedly.

I did not know there existed such a thing! I've only ever seen the leaf bugs. (Whatever their real name is.) Once again, I'm not much of a bug person. But I can certain appreciate this beautiful photo of amazing creature! Thanks for sharing.
