Not even a posing fee

Hackberry Emperor
Asterocampa celtis

I got my first one of these a few weeks back, so it's not a new species for me, but it's my first good view of the dorsal side of these beautiful butterflies. I think this might be a female, but they're really hard to tell apart.

This is much more striking in the larger size images. You did a great job as the depth of field looks minute. (1-2-3)
