BIG LICKER....

.... no not the name of this butterfly I found enjoying the newly topdressed lawn this morning - but aside doing a "trial" on the BIG gun again for emergency macro use found it was busy having a drink.

Check some of the other shots on Flickr here and really liked getting this one here as it was about to unfurl the tongue.

One of the great things for me in Blip, aside of enjoying the fun in checking your journals, is when doing some research on a pic you are learning more re nature!

Like I never knew (okay i'm a bit backward) that butterfly's had this long tongue for drinking! Have a check of this You Tube on what it's all about.

Enjoy, and have a look in LARGE 

.. a good thing I did do this this morning as it is now bucketing rain with thunder and lightning....
