Aphrodite, a flower for each leg

Aphrodite Fritillary Butterfly from the side standing each leg on a bloom except for one hind leg. This butterfly was photographed in Fontenelle forest near Omaha Nebraska. It was not until I reviewed the photo that I noticed the legs on the flowers. I have enjoyed learning about butterflies as I have photographed them!
