thanks for the encouragement Subrata, but as you mentioned in pmail he's a bit lopsided in the frame . . . .so I will try to center him a bit better. This DOES make it look as tho he's trying to leave the frame, doesn't it . . .I'll try to add some space to the left =)

Wonderful capture. I cry when I see the injured wings on the butterflies.

Poor little battered wings !!

Fantastic capture. I think they all have tattered wings by this time of the year. Great exposure and detail.

Very nice capture!

Why would you encourage such a thing! ;o)))

This is so lovely...hard to believe they come from those dreaded caterpillars!
