I've never seen a butterfly on a waterlily and often wondered why. Plenty of pollen that the bees love but no butterflies...until this little guy showed up.

I agree with Tammy. And this is quite unusual to see a butterfly on a waterlily. Beautiful combination of colors: brown, cream and orange, impressive details and perfect DoF. #11310250

Well Ms Austin, leave it to you to find the unusual in nature! :-) I love the striking contrast in the color of the butterfly and the waterlily! And of course the details and presentation are so beautiful! Are you guys treading water down there? We had some flooding around us but not on us! #11310552
