Beautiful capture Colleen, they are such small flowers for such a large bug. #4862560Colleen Farrell September 29, 2007
Thanks very much, Nadine, Sandra and Eileen!Actually, Eileen, the butterfly is small compared to the whole cosmos ... I think the butterfly is about 1" head to wing-tip and the cosmos is about 4 1/2" wide (petal tip to petal tip) -- but the photo does make it look the other way around! :) #4862736
