Very well done, Nancy! I like your subject and perch, nice sharpness. Coiled proboscis is a plus. I would prefer more negative space at right (perhaps twice as much), and perhaps slightly less on the left. Also, you may want to remove the leaf(?) at the bottom since it is clipped; I think the image would be cleaner without it.
The wings remind me of lichen on a rock. Camouflage?

Beautifully delineated well focused and pin sharp. Excellent colours and an ideal background. I don't know if you get orange tips (anthocaris cardamine) in your country but that is what it looks like to me.

Thank you all! Jonathan, your suggestion of Orange Tips got me on the right track. The colorado orange tip is described as a spring butterfly. We also have something called a Large Marble (Euchloe ausonides) that is a summer butterfly and looks like a good match. Mitch, I like your observation that the wing pattern could be useful camouflage since it resembles lichen.
