First butterfly

While I was working on the walkway, this butterfly fluttered down nearby. It must have recently emerged from its cocoon, as it was not flying well and just stretched its wings for several minutes before flying off. I was standing about a foot away when I took this images.

What a lucky find! I would LOVE to see a newly emerged butterfly so it would stay still long enough to get a picture. This one is a gem!
