Beautiful! The backlighting nicely accentuates the butterfly's colors. Nicely done, Roy!

Roy - from my Audubon Field Guide to Butterflies (North America), I'm pretty sure you have a Milbert's Tortoiseshell here. The notes verify the range and time of year to fit as well. Terrific shot of him.

Those colors are so beautiful! I love vivid colors and these are so pretty. I love the colors we get with our Nikons! Excellent work.
