I'm extremely glad that this image has been received well ~ it is probably one of my favorite photos. I happy the it turned out well, but most of the praise should go to the butterfly. It's one thing to get lucky and have a butterfly sit still for a photo ~ but it's extremely fortunate when one is as pretty as this one.
Thanks for humoring me while I put up another shot of this Buckeye. I have chased one or two Buckeyes in my back yard for months now ~ and they will never sit still long enough for a photo. This one seemed to want to pose for me ~ so far be it from me to not shoot her photo.... a lot.
Junonia coenia is the Common Buckeye butterfly. It is found in all parts of the United States except the northwest, and is especially common in the South, the California coast, and throughout Central America.
