This beautiful butterfly insisted on landing on a hydrangea that is long past its best...so it's more fauna than flora!
Looking close... on Friday!

Mostly just moths around here, so that's probably why this butterfly caught my attention, along with it being quite large and colourful.
Somehow it stayed motionless as I came closer and closer with my camera.
This is the original photo; no enhancements of any kind.
I have no idea about butterflies, so please comment if you can ID it, or about anything else, of course.
UPDATE: This butterfly has been identified by flickr member michael...see below
A simple hoverfly in and on a circle. The surface tension of the drop is strong enough to lean on and the drop is holding it to the tip of the leaf, not (yet) sliding down. It's all about the details!
The environment is reflecting in the drop. :-)
Update: This photo was published in The Eye On The Area section of The Hamilton Spectator on Tuesday September 10, 2024.
This was taken with a reversed 50mm lens fitted to a PB 5 Bellows unit (looks like this www.flickr.com/photos/195898574@N08/53135131999/in/datepo... ).
It is set to the minimum magnification. The subject was in a homemade light box and was lit with both natural light and a LED fill. I think the fly is injured and thus reluctant to move. I have done my best to ID the fly and my ID is based mainly around colour, the stripes on the thorax and the shape of the eyes. It was found on a Basil leaf growing in our kitchen.
Thanks for looking.
Thank you for all those who take the time to comment and also to those who add my photos to galleries and groups, you are all very kind.

How about this for Smile on Saturday's combination of flora and fauna... A snapping turtle laying eggs and covered in algae.
