I found three butterflies on the Buddlei today, but only the Fritillary 
was cooperative.  The lighting was better, so I decided I would post two 
more shots of this colorful creature.

Here is a top view of the wings, which are not as striking as the underside.

The glancing light in this view shows the texture of the wings to a 
better advantage.  There is a Carpenter bee hiding out beneath the flower.
