Florida is the place in the spring for Atlantic Frittilary. Wherever you find Lantana, which is common along the coast, you are almost sure to find Frittilaries working the blossoms. Beautiful buttterfly on a beautiful plant. What more could you ask?

I fond this one at the Matanzas Cut parking area. I am still playing with the features of the Nikon P500. These were taken in Sports mode, which captures 5 rapid shots when you press the shutter release.

Nikon Coolpix P500 at 810mm equivalent field of view, f5.7 @ 1/320=1/400th, ISO 160. Sports mode. #3 is cropped slightly.

Processed for intensity and clarity in Lightroom. I do less level work with this camera…but about the same clarity and vibrance as with the Canon SX20IS.
