What unusual coloration for the butterfly, yet fits so well with the Euphorbia. Makes an interesting and beautiful banner.

It's always a treat to see butterflies in the banners. This is one I don't see very often in local gardens.

Looking at this quickly, I thought that was a lizard's head! Great banner!

Thanks, Karen and Elizabeth. Yes, the eyespots cause people and critters alike to pause ... giving the butterfly a chance to get away!
