Field Notes

Description:

This little butterfly was very intent sipping the sweat off a pair of shoes on the verandah. It wandered round both shoes for a long time.

thanks bayucca. In really liked this little butterfly. It had a lot of spunk and determination. Wasn't fazed at all by my moving all round it taking photos, was just intent on sucking up those minerals off the shoes!
