The photographer: "As I stood sweating in the midday sun trying to spot butterflies, a Camberwell Beauty (Nymphalis antiopa) flew around me and sat on my slung photo bag. I took my first photos with the digital camera and then slowly held out my hand to him. It climbed onto it and scanned it with its proboscis for several minutes."
