Butterfly, May 2009




last May this lovely butterfly appeared among the primroses...to my delight it was still there when I came back with my camera...




and then I realized its nectar gathering appendage seemed to be stuck in the flower, and it was bracing itself with its legs trying to get out...carefully I took hold of its body and had to exert quite a bit of force to release it...fortunately it released from the flower and remain attached to the butterfly...



I set it down in the shade and after a few minutes it flew away
