Flame on the Angelica - _TNY_9280

Really happy with the colours here . the butterfly is a comma butterfly (Polygonia c-album) and the flower is a purple angelica (Angelica gigas), a species which can get quite high - this was around 180 cm / 6' above ground.

 

A closer shot of the same specimen on the same flower with an explanation of where the name "comma" comes from here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53906284071/
