Skipper resting on Purple Heart, also known as Purple Wandering Jew.
Actually what the butterfly is attracted to is the Lantana which is planted with it. Skippers are kind of drab but are generally willing to hold still long enough to have their picture taken.

great macro but more importantly i love that you know the name of butterfly!!
I love the contrast between the purple heart and Skipper! Beautifully done!
Excellent shot Bill.
The butterfly may normally be drab but it's the perfect complimentary color to the wandering jew. Very nice.
I never knew the name. Great capture!
Lovely composition!
Great Macro, never seen that flower before, I guess it's because you cannot find them here. Otherwise I would love some in my garden and they really have a name suited for them!
I'm so glad to know the name of the butterfly-- they are all over my Ok garden and you are right-- they do hold still.
Excellent composition. Very nicely done.
Great shot and color combination!
That's a great picture! I love the shape of that leaf he's on!
Photo particulièrement réussie !
Bisous de France.
Great macro!!!!!
Yes they do deserve it, it was al about team spirit and faith!!
Very pretty!
Such intense colors! And love the texture of the wings!
That's the problem with flutter-bys - the holding still thing. I have purple WJ in my garden but it covers everything. Makes a lovely splash of colour though, so it can stay.
Great photograph. You have a lot of patience.
