Passion vine butterfly

I already ran a post for this week’s Sunday Stills challenge on the theme of ‘Orange’ (here, and other responses here). But yesterday, while taking a walk, I came across this passion vine butterfly and thought it fit the theme too well to pass up. The butterfly was feeding on a tasselflower with the blue Pacific as a backdrop.

  Thanks. The blue background makes the orange really pop.

  Thanks. I saw the butterfly flitting about and, for once, it obliged by settling in a spot where I could get the nice blue background.

    Very obliging of it, and most atypical for a butterfly!
