Comment from Susan F. M. T.
fred,
A beautiful picture of this Papilio memnon~The Great Mormon Swallowtail butterfly with it's pink wing flashes on it's otherwise black & pearl grey patterned wings that are slightly battered alighted on the pink trumpet shaped flower framed by the rain splattered green foliage the light shining off it's shiny black head, thorax & abdomen, including the raindrops on the leaves. Your notes are both interesting & informative. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan
