Pearl Crescent
A very common and very pretty butterfly:
It was also extremely cooperative – it sat still for some, which is pretty rare for this species.

Nice, Tom. They seem to be among the more willing of models.
Thanks, Steve. This one was willing, but this species is quite flighty.
Amazing one!😊😊 Please check out my website, thanks
Thanks – I visited your blog, nice photos.
Lovely. I can actually feel the soft texture of its wings and body in your photo.
Thanks!
Beautiful work Tom at times they can be very cooperative and then other times not so much lol !!
Thanks, Bernie. Alas, most of the time they just flit about.
And what a pretty specimen. I finally got into the great outdoors today, and the few butterflies I saw were fairly well tattered. It didn’t slow them down, though.
I’m glad this one was so cooperative. It’s as though it was intent on showing off its considerable charms.
It may have been showing off, but it was cool and cloudy, probably just trying to warm up.
Beautiful 🙂
Gorgeous photo. Yes, these little guys are usually flitting around pretty fast.
