Small Tortoisehell

By saxon_image  
The camera club online challenge for July was insects which is not a subject I usually bother with but was certainly a challenge! Used my 60 mm macro and just kept shooting as the butterfly flitted around this perennial wallflower. Basic tweaks only to the processed RAW.

For someone who doesn't usually do insects, this is so very attractive and well composed.
