Compton tortoiseshell (Nymphalis l-album)

West Ottawa

I don't often see this butterfly, which seems to be more difficult to find in general than other Nymphalids. These were once given the name Nymphalis vau-album, but that has changed.

Canon PowerShot SX10 IS
1/800s f/5.7 at 100.0mm iso200 full exif
