...curly thing.

I've really enjoyed the butterflies this year.  They have finally discovered the plants I, well, planted for them and in particular the buddleia.

There was one shot though I was determined to get (apart from my hummingbird hawk moth which is still very much a work in progress as I write) and that was of a butterfly's curled up proboscis (or curly thing!).

And I eventually got two.  OK. it's the same butterfly (a painted lady) on two different plants and two different poses, but come on - mission accomplished or what!
