Need colour

Thought I'd take a quick break from posting photos of my week's trip to Yellowstone, and also add a splash of colour. Couldn't find a photo on Google last night of a butterfly that looked exactly like this one, but I think it could possibly be a Great Mormon? Taken (on an Hibiscus flower) in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo on 8 September 2012. I don't usually get a sky background at the Conservatory, but this was a very tall Hibiscus, so I was looking up towards the glass ceiling and sky. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papilio_memnon#Female_form_butlerianus
