Wonderful shots, Melanie and I've been wondering what all the white butterflies were. Caught this guy on my porterweed this morning and the light really shows his colorful antenna clubs.
Now, when I say "caught" well here's the tale. I was taking the camera c/w tripod out again this morning. As I opened the screen door to the pool cage there was that Great Southern White on the porterweed right outside the door. I plunked down the tripod and was struggling to get the camera started up and aimed at him when he flitted through the door into the cage ALONG WITH a Gulf Frit. Well, long story short, I spent the next hour chasing the poor things back out of the cage again. Ever tried "herding" butterfiles? I finally went out front and took some cuttings off my Pentas out there, put them in a jar with some water and stood that outside the door.
Here's the poor freed captive Gulf Frit, he was so exhausted that he stayed still for me to get my pictures before he limped off to better things.
