I love backlit subjects, especially when the light shines through from behind and provides a stained glass effect, as was the case with this Viceroy butterfly (Limenitis archippus).

Beautiful backlighting!! Lovely pic!!
Thanks. It’s sometimes a challenge to shot toward the sun, but it is awesome when it lights a subject like this.
You made that Viceroy look regal!
Certainly high in the regal category, but not quite a monarch.
Gorgeous, really gorgeous photo.
Beautiful shot!
