Great shot! The background really makes the butterfly and flowers stand out.

This candid pose is my favorite kind of butterfly shot (as opposed to the 'dead butterfly' pose showing just the open wings. They really are magnificent creatures. This shot illustrates it.

Super sharpness makes this a winner.

Great job getting the butterfly and flower and good focus, it's kind of difficult with this little guys!

Turned you camera into a butterfly net and caught it. Beautiful capture both- the flower and the butterfly.

How lucky you are, such a beautiful flower and as a bonus the butterfly. And you captured both so well. Great focus and wonderful bokeh!

Btw, the flower is a "purpletop" (Verbena bonariensis)

edit - just saw, the flower name was already mentioned.
