Mourningcloak on butterfly bush
Butterfly bush (Buddleia) is aptly named as the blossoms attract many butterflies.
Mourningcloak wings opened out
I especially look forward to seeing mourningcloaks on the Buddleia - their colours go together very well, don't you agree?

I'll take butterfly pictures on any bush! :D Nature's beauties.
i think mourning cloaks are SO beautiful! love their understated colors and big size!
Beautiful! They look lovely on these flowers.
I had never heard of mourning cloaks before and wham! now they're my favourite thing.
Stunning!
That is a great butterfly, beautiful colors.
I've never heard of this butterfly. Just goes to show what I know!
Yes, the colors go together very nicely. Beautiful capture!!
It isn't just the color that is fascinating in this butterfly, EG, it is the texture.
I love this butterfly. We have it here as well....but I really like your photo composition.
My goodness those are absolutely gorgeous. I love butterflies.
I love those textures in the flowers. Such great composition and substance.
Such beautiful markings.
Gorgeous shots. Sorry it has been so long since the last visit, been crazy here. Enjoy the weekend.
I haven't heard of this butterfly. It is beautiful. It almost looks like lace on the edge of the wings.
Wonderful capture! I see what you mean about how the colours compliment one another.
Beautiful shots of a gorgeous butterfly and a lovely flowering bush!
No Mourning Cloaks on this side of the big pond. Plenty of Buddleia though which attract all species of butterfly. That's a beautiful picture.
Wind trägt unsere Gedanken fort, in Wolken gehüllt umrunden sie die Welt...

Okay, is it "mourbingcloak" or "mourningcloak"? ;-)
I doubt I've ever seen one of these. Love that first shot especially...looks like the wings are made of seashell material.
well this butterfly was aptly named, in the first photo it looks just like a cloak. i love the edges, so beautiful
they are perfectly beautiful together
Beautiful captures!
As they keep flying, it is very challenging to photograph butterflies.
You have done a very good job.
Beautiful shots!
A very Victorian butterfly :-)

They really do look good together! The season's hottest colours! :) Beautiful...
What a gorgeous butterfly. This is my first year with a butterfly bush in my garden. What a gift to be able to watch them so close.
looks like a wooden flutterby... i've never seen one like that
Brilliant shots dear EG, thanks for this lovely energy, a great start for our week!
