Butterfly and Hoverfly

Butterfly and Hoverfly
This is another version of a photo I already have posted. The photo was taken near Tete Jaune Cache in British Columbia where we were hunting for Lady's Slippers. Both the Hoverfly and the Butterfly were around the flower which I never identified and I managed to get several pictures with them both in focus. The Hoverfly is a Syrphus species which I have not been able to identify further and the butterfly is the Northern Crescent, Phyciodes cocyta.

The first thing I tried to do was look at this in a larger size and was disappointed that it was only shown in 800. I really like to view images of this nature at 1024 or 2048 preferably.
Lovely rich colour on the butterfly. I will have a look at your previous version. Amazing timing and the hoverfly makes this a fascinating image.
