Description
The featured butterfly in this image -- an orange Gulf Fritillary -- has found the perfect spot for a sip of nectar: an orange daisy.
Bushes in the flowerbed form the backdrop for this image, covering the whole frame. Blue-green leaves stick out like swords, at random angles. Against that jumble, a single butterfly rests on a single blossom -- and orange Gulf Fritillary on an orange daisy. The colors of the flower are remarkably similar to the colors of the visiting butterfly. The shadows on the bright orange flower mimic the orange and black patterns and strips of the butterfly.
In the photograph, the insect is facing the viewer, with wings outstretched from edge to edge. Its wings look like thin slashes. Its feet are perched on the orange petals, while its tongue dips into the center cone of the bloom.
This photo was taken at Brick Pond Park in downtown North Augusta, SC.
