Your capture of this little one is a real eye-grabber, Heather. Like many others above, I've never seen this particularly pretty butterfly. Looks like it's showing off its heart (within the white) to you. #9825809

Good Morning, Heather...well, I'm behind in commenting, so please forgive! I THINK this is a White Admiral....the white bars are a giveaway - but I'm not too sure about the colorful spots on the hindwings, tho. I'll tell you, tho, if I saw this beauty on my deck, I'd have heart palpitations! :) Gorgeous capture - excellent detail and color! #9835122
