A monarch butterfly was just fleeing the scene when this friendly fellow flew in. He did not mind me being around at all. Identified as a Zebra Longwing by Cindy at Bug Safari, I have since realized this is the Florida State butterfly.
My first coral colored California Giant Zinnia!

More shots of my model!!! He seemed to be posing for me!

Great shots Julie ~ Zebras are one of my favorite butterflies to photograph as they do seem to be posing. I love how they gently flit around from flower to flower.
Have a nice weekend ~ FlowerLady
Zinnas are great for butterflies. This butterfly is beautiful.
Just beautiful Julie. Butterflies love zinnias. I just took a photo of a beautiful butterfly too. It was on one of my lantana bushes. I hope to post that this week.
Great colors in your garden.
Have a wonderful weekend.
