A danaid eggfly
came fluttering by
said ‘hello!’
in tones mellow
then left to sip honey in a hurry…

I don’t see a lot of butterflies in California. I think they used too much pesticide in the past. But here in France there are many more. I think I saw one similar to your’s the other day. Thank you for the post!

This is so beautiful Shail. Thank you for sharing.
Lovely shot! Depth is visible.
A butterfly said Hello
To flower-centers yellow
Into them dipped
With proboscis sipped
Good thing, Luci didn’t, at it, bellow!
