Looks a bit like a Monarch butterfly. We have a butterfly house on the island where I live started by a retired farmer with a delightful sense of humour. When I asked him why he got into this he said that he had read somewhere that when farmers retire and move off the land, within two years they are dead and in his words "and that is not good for your health". He and his wife a lovely people and are presently in the throes of building a much bigger butterfly house on the island.
"Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you." Nathaniel Hawthorne
And that is exactly what happens in the peace and tranquillity of the butterfly house.
Truly love the butterflies and butterfly houses. There's a great one in Denver, Colorado, if anyone should travel there - well worth your time!
