butterfly on Verbena bonariensis

Brilliant shot Klahanie 🙂.

Glad you like it Sheila. These tiny flowers attract so many bees and butterflies.

Love this photo so have added it to my favourites . . . :o))

Thank you Shirley_tulip. That is a great compliment.

Thank you

Beautiful photo, the Verbena is an excellent nectar source isnt it?.
Do you know which butterfly it is?

Added to my faves! Fab shot!

Sbg, I do not know and was hoping that you will tell me.

Kate, I am pleased that you like the photo.

Ah that's the rub I'm not up on BC butterflies. I will see what I can find. Are the upper wings just black and white or did they have any other colour?

I think its just black and white, SBG. Please do not spend too much time on it, I thought maybe you have them in UK as well.

There are a whole group of black and white ones. We have 5 different species that fit that grouping. I found several ones that just didn't match the photos but that could be down to male or female differences.

Wow, just beautiful!

Thank you. :-)
