I told myself I had been posting too many butterfly pictures and promised not to post one today. However, after receiving infuriating news regarding a former employer’s recent actions I needed something to brighten my day.

I woke up extra early to find this one. I’ve photographed this variety on another occasion but this picture is more clear. From what I’ve seen, they have a tendency of hanging out in really dark regions of a forest making it hard to get a decent shot using available light.
