For a butterfly as beautiful as this, it seems a little more creativity would have gone into naming it. But nonetheless the Red-spotted Purple is a brilliant array of color that always catches the eye and pulls you in for a closer look. Most often the blue/purple hues in the wings tend to display most prominently and the orange is more subtle, but these butterflies at this particular time of day offered a beautiful bold display of both, along with a seemingly infinite array of subtle variations of each.
