You fly around in plants with thorns. That ought to do it. This butterfly looks OK, so far, except for one tiny tear in the right wing. See it? LOL.

Thanks for the comments, friends.

Gotta have some delight flying work cut out for this butterfly to land on a catus. Nice job on the clarity and the details of the wings.

Jimbob a tiny tear would make it a flapper with a flat? But a very good capture.

Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick. Henri Cartier-Bresson
