Great Spangled Fritillary butterfly on Purple Coneflower
Pettigrew, AR - June 2014

It's not just about putting on a show - for the butterfly, it's all about making a living. The great spangled fritillary is particularly fond of purple coneflower. In this image, you can see the butterfly's proboscis hard at work down inside the flower.
