Orange on Purple, Times Two - _TNY_9980

In the foreground, a large skipper (Ochlodes sylvanus) enjoying the sweet rewards of a thistle and in the background a very old and tattered painted lady (Vanessa cardui) doing the same.

 

I actually have separate shots of these two. Check out the skipper here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/48266869891/ and see how pretty the painted lady looks even though it is so old here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/48275244422/
