Now that is spot on. Beautiful colours, looks a little like one of our parrots. Mother of all flies??

Right place, right time - very nice.
That butterfly looks like it's going to be a lovely snack
But did it get caught?

A really interesting photo, on many levels.

The butterfly did not get eaten. I was taking pictures of the flycatcher when all of a sudden he turned and looked at the butterfly (monarch/viceroy I didn’t get a chance to really look). I didn’t think I got the butterfly in the picture until I got home and looked at it. I guess he knew that monarch’s taste bad so he didn’t bother with this one. He did enjoy a few other small insects while I was watching him.

Thanks for your comments.
