Monarch Butterfly | Monday Jul 07, 2008

Becune Point

by Derek Walcott (excerpt)

Stunned heat of noon. In shade, tan, silken cows

hide in the thorned acacias. A butterfly staggers.

By now you know I'm scared of these, but the colors in this image are beautiful so I was brave enough to tell you. I scrolled the page down so I could type without seeing the insect body:-)

This is just exquisite. How well he blends in. The whole picture is yellow, green and black...or shades there of...except for the little blue dots on the bottom of his spatulate wings. They were the first thing my eyes noticed. I wonder if those blue dots help him survive by drawing predators away from his head area? Regardless the photo is just lovely.
