Click to see the detail in his antennaeUpdate: Thanks to Jeannelle from Midlife by Farmlight for identifying my flying beauty, a Pearl Crescent Butterfly (link to Wikipedia). When I found the photos on Wiki, I couldn't believe it -- that is EXACTLY my butterfly! :)

Pretty.
How pretty! I saw the most beautiful little butterfly yesterday and for once didn't have my camera with me :-(
beautiful creatures!
Nice capture! That's a pretty one!
This is a great capture! I've tried to get pics of butterflies, bees, and dragonflies but wasn't as lucky! :(
Very cool! Nice close up, and capture!
Great capture! How did you get him to sit so still for you? I must not be able to talk to the insects like you do...LOL
Very pretty photo!!
What a fabulous shot.
I love those antennae!!! I wonder if this is some version of a painted lady butterfly??? Whatever it is, it is gorgeous!
Lovely! Its a Pearl Crescent Butterfly. The only reason I know that is because I caught one in a photo a few weeks ago and looked it up.
Butterflys never sit still for me long enough to get a pic. Nice shot.
He's beautiful, and the antenna are very cool looking!
Everyone else has already said it! He's really pretty and as for how you managed to get him to sit still for so long .... I managed a moth but flutterbys are somehow more flighty.
Very nice capture. The color pattern on the butterfly is beautiful.
Outstanding Image.
Love it.
John.

Great butterfly! You must have some patience or luck, those little suckers are to fast for me! :)
