After a four day hiatus from Steemit that found me at Disneyworld for a couple days, then the subsequent recovering from Disneyworld, I come back bearing pictures.
Pictures of butterflies, which happened to be one of the cooler things we saw at Epcot. They had a large butterfly tent wherein were dozens of flavors of butterflies.
Since I wanted to get out a post today, enjoy my photo of a slightly ragged Julia butterfly.

How do you know the Julia Butterfly is a “he”? I would have defaulted to “she” myself, but I suppose there must be both girl and boy Julia Butterflies. Okay now you’ve got me thinking about butterfly mating while I’m at work.

I kind of had this vicious butterfly fight storyline in my head, where our orange friend had to stand up and defend his lady from some preening monarch's unwanted advances, and there was a gloved slap across the face, and then a duel to the death, and that's how his wing got damaged.

Shall I anticipate that story as a future 50-word challenge post? 😄

Male birds tend to be more colorful and beautiful. I wonder does it apply to butterflies as well?

I was hoping you would be able to figure it out! 😊
I think we would have to see it next to another member of its species to compare!

I would imagine a happy butterfly is a fed butterfly. Definitely one of natures most beautiful creatures. Definitely rooting for the butterfly with a damaged wing. Great share, Negative.

They're like tiny little works of art flying around directionlessly.

I love the contrast of the orange of the butterfly with the deep pink (red?) of the flower @negativer.
Nice capture! 😊
