This is a buckeye butterfly. Seen with its wings open it is particularly beautiful. The underside of the wings are not nearly so nice but it’s still a pretty little thing. It fluttered away from me a few times and then landed here and let me get quite close, but only with its wings held together. This was taken in the late evening so I had to use flash to get enough light.
