The butterfly and the ant...
There seems to be hundreds of Cabbage Butterflies around ... it's the most common one I see. Not much else in the butterfly department. Flitting here and there ....hardly stopping to check out any flowers. But, every so often..one lands and if I hurry, I might get a sort of okay shot of one.
This guy chose a brilliant yellow pom pom Marigold in a pot on the patio...one or two landed on the watering can... or the pots themselves ...hardly any on pretty things. So, this was pretty good.... I didn't notice the ant 'til I uploaded the photo.
This from a Butterfly Identification site..
~~~Color and Appearance: When the wings are open, the dorsal side in the male displays a creamy white coloration with a single black spot on the primary wings, whereas the female is rather pale yellowish, with two black spots placed somewhere around the center. When the wings are closed, the ventral side exhibits a yellowish tinge along with some black speckles.~~~
So...this is a little lady....
