I am looking forward to your butterfly photos and artwork!

Here are my photos for this week of the Eastern-tailed Blue.

This small butterfly was so far away and wouldn't let me get close to it without flying away, but it always came back. I was happy that a few of the photos turned out because I usually only see these blue ones once a year. The Eastern-tailed Blue gets its name because they are blue and have a small tail at the end of each wing.

The orange eyespots on the hindwings serves a purpose for their bird predators. Birds think that the eyespots are the butterfly's head so when the bird pecks at it, a small part of the wing gets damaged but at least the butterfly escapes certain death.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for your kind comment @kaminchan! That is a shame that you will not be able to capture a butterfly for the contest. Keep looking because you might see one resting on a flower. I hope so.

Thanks! I will try to tell those butterflies to drop by!
