Colour co-ordinated butterfly

Can butterflies see colour?  How on earth did this butterfly know that he would match this bucket so perfectly?  It is full of some compost I dragged out the bottom of my composter - there must be some good stuff in there.....or maybe this was a modelling opportunity he couldnt miss?
 I was hoping for some dry weather this weekend, but it looks like more rain is on the way.
Never mind, I dont have much time for gardening.  We are hoping to have a family brunch out in the garden on sunday so still holding thumbs for good weather for that.

My hubby took the photos while I was at work, so I missed seeing him.
 (Hubby is a good photographer isnt he?)

 this is aptly named the blue triangle butterfly.

I wish you a butterfly filled sunny weekend!

  1. Wow--that is guh-orgeous!!! It seems your butterflies are prettier than ours.

    Hope your weather turns out nice on Sunday. We had wicked summer-like storms blast through Central Florida all day today. Several tornadoes....scary stuff.

  2. It looks as though we could see through the butterfly. It seems to be the exact shade of blue!

    Lucky you. Both brother and hubby are great at taking photos.

  3. That's Fab. Hope to see more butterfly's this year here in Ireland, they seem to be in the decline last few years!

  4. That is just too amazing, but you must have a point, there, unless you quickly photo-shopped this, because it's April Fool's Day?! :)

  5. He definitely is a great photographer. Both photos are so clear. I wonder what was in your compost that attracted him.

  6. Beautiful and vivid close-up pictures. You must have a mineral-rich compost that even butterflies love it.
