Zerene Fritillary (Speyeria Zerene)

This photo was very much down to luck. I saw this butterfly (Zerene Fritillary) land and slowly open its wings. I really wanted to get a close up so that I could capture as much detail as possible. I slowly edged closer and closer. Literally the second I took this photo, the butterfly took off. Had I waited another second, I would have missed it.
