Good Morning Everyone,

This Sunday morning, I am posting a shot of a peacock butterfly.

This early autumn, we have had more of these attractive butterflies than in any year previously. Although the books tell us they frequent thistles, around my area, they seem to be attracted mostly by the sedum. At times, I counted six of them on the sedum, joined ocasionally by red admirals and speckled woods.

I like this shot as the butterfly appears to be playing hide-and-seek with the bee!

Since a lot of information has already been posted about these butterflies, I will just add a very useful Internet link for anyone who is interested here.

Many thanks for stopping by.
Please feel free to offer feedback on any aspect of the photograph. Bev :-)

Hello Beverley! Fantastic insect. Amazing macro. Wonderful colours, superb saturation. Perfect contrast and sharpness. Original shot. Well done!

Hi Bev :)

This is a beautiful shot from Painted Lady with great details! I like the great sharpness and POV in the shot, with a floor of beautiful flowers. The presence of bumblebee in the BG, is a bonus. The colors are perfectly shown and very natural.

Great work!

best regards,
Paras

Hi Beverley

Lol. Aptly titled, & the oof beetle in the bg, makes it harder to 'find'. Good dof sharpness & colour. The diagonal axis of the butterfly adds superb dynamism. Tfs!

Bev
Wonderful capture, great details and colors.
Congratulation!

Hello Bev,
The bright intense colors made me think this would also be appropriate for last week's theme. The f/4.8 setting provided precise focus on the featured butterfly and fine diminishing blurriness on the b.g where the outline of the busy bee is evident. Quick thinking and reflex you have. My compliments,
Danilo
