I honestly tried to coerce her .. to move just a lil bit, 'out' of the shade of that one lil leafy limb - for a couply shots! But it was a no-go. Also, tried, once .. to shove the limb away somewhat, but it would be just spring back to where it was. Just mitey glad I didn't opt to break the limb off and out of the way ...

Bless her lil heart, she was in the wee lil shady area of those leaves, for a specific reason .. And the ol lunatict lady kept wartin' the fool out of her!! .. hee hee .. But, afterwards, when I finally realized that she was laying her eggs .. I was ever so glad that I'd not pursued it further!

There was just hardly any avoiding that lil bit of shade .. And there was certainly no optional positions that I could've moved to, either ... Sadly, using the flash only worked on one or two of them.

In all seriousness .. I'm not absolutely sure myself, about recognizing the specific markings, on the butterfly in the pics I've posted here. I think that I do see what Kennedyh is referring to tho' .. as far as the 'white spot being inside the comma', etc. ... Take a look and see if these next pics helps us both out!! ... LOL ..

One other (and larger) photo of the butterfly I shot .. and then, two other photos that I've scanned from my lil book .. and posted here. (not necessarily in that order) ..
