I happened on this American Lady butterfly harvesting the crown of the thin-leaved sunflower growing in a grove in a neighborhood park in West Des Moines, Iowa on an early autumn day. I couldn’t resist capturing the butterfly at work.

After much effort, I finally managed to get a photo of this butterfly sipping nectar from a pink ixora flower.
