Description
The image is square, with a butterfly -- a Gulf Fritillary, to be exact -- in the center. It's resting on the purple blossom of a butterfly bush which is jutting diagonally from the bottom right corner.
Parallel stripes of orange, edged with black trim, define the colorful insect. It shows brightly against its host. Tiny flowers of pink-purple, almost fuchsia, cluster along the spike of the bush, making tall cones of color, full of nectar for the Fritillary.
It's late in the summer; the blooms are past their prime. Some of the flowers have dried up. But those that are still alive and holding their color have attracted the butterfly. So there it sits, amid the brilliant pink and green of the bush.
This photograph was taken at Brick Pond Park, a beautiful urban nature site in North Augusta, SC.
