Female Acmon Blue Butterfly Next to Tiny Colorful Aetole Micromoth

Female Acmon Blue Butterfly Next to Tiny Colorful Aetole Micromoth
I had a few images showing this butterfly's open wings that were a little more crisp, but this one shows both the butterfly and one of the tiny Aetole Moths I found on the flowers right next to it. I wanted to show the scale, and just so you know, the Acmon Blue was about the size of a dime, or about 3/4" in diameter.

Amazing shot! To catch just one small critter is a challenge yet you got two. Great timing!
