Description At a recent visit to a Butterfly House. This one was flapping his wings really quickly, so there's some motion blur, that was unavoidable with the available light. I love the red colour against the red of the bottlebrush blooms.

Scarlet Mormon !!! WOW, I thank you for that; I was very curious as to its ID.

BananagoddessAZ In reply to substar [2007-11-29 22:38:28 +0000 UTC]

Or it's a Great Mormon, they are all the same species just females there are like 4 subspecies, alot of pink and red. So it's either a Scarlet Mormon or a Great Mormon.
