First Queen Butterfly of the Year on Tropical Milkweed

The sun finally came out for a couple of hours this afternoon,
and so did the butterflies. I saw Giant Swallowtails, Black
Swallowtails, Common Wood Nymphs, Gulf Fritillaries and several
I was not able to get close enough to identify. I always have
an abundance of Queens, and this is the first one I have seen
this year. Hope that ant doesn't bite him!

This was my second choice: http://www.pbase.com/image/30793611

Nikon Coolpix 4500
1/299s f/5.1 at 16.9mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

superb shot! you've caught the wings at a perfect position and shape!
I really like the reds against all that green in the background too!

Great color and detail, Petesie. If the sun ever shines again here, I hope to see butterflies! At least I can look at yours and enjoy.
