That's great, Joseph. I'm interested in the ID of the flower, too.

Hi! Lani_V.E. I checked on VIRBOGA, which is an online botanical website and it is referring to the flower. Thanks for replying and posting your picture. I'll keep an eye out for the butterfly.

Thanks, Joseph. Check this link at Wikipedia. There's a similar image - butterfly as well as the tiny flower, I think it's identified as Tridax procumbens inflorescence, though I'm not sure if it's referring to the flower. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tridax_procum_100228-0132_ipb.jpg
