Butterfly (Tair 11a 135 mm f/5,6)

not often you can get the two together for my daily photo

The butterflies have wings that are scarlet with broad black margins. The forewing tips each have a diagonal white patch. Underneath, the wings are orange, with a white patch under each forewing tip, and arcs of white outlined black spots under each wing. www.butterflyhouse.com.au/butterfly/red-lacewing/

Have not seen many this year and have been lucky to get some photos.

Dryas iulia (often incorrectly spelled julia), commonly called the Julia butterfly, Julia heliconian, the flame, or flambeau, is a species of brush-footed (or nymphalid) butterfly. The sole representative of its genus Dryas, it is native from Brazil to southern Texas and Florida, and in summer can sometimes be found as far north as eastern Nebraska. Over 15 subspecies have been described. (Source: Wikipedia)
