Artist's Comments

I wish the moth had opened its wings, but it didn't... still, I think this is a cool picture... with the details of the dandelion and the moth. :D

(update: i've been told it's a moth, not a butterfly... oh well) :D

... Wow. Patience required for such a shot is amazing.

I've sat by while insects have been photographed, it's hard!

Even with the wings closed, you captured it perfectly, at rest.

... Spiffy. :D

Are you a Wormbaby too?
:iconlejonlurv:
Thank you!!! :D

Actually, I was quite lucky... I didn't need to test my patience (which is good, since I don't have a lot of it...), I followed the butterfly for a while and when it sat down at the third flower, it actually stayed long enough for me to capture it. :) I guess he got tired of me stalking him... ;)

Don't let your mind wander. It's much too small to be out on it's own.

Yes. I as the protege simply stood back and took notes. :D

Very nice ... dandelions here in Texas look very different.

Was this in a park?
