Plume Celosia and Skipper

A plume celosia (Celosia argentea) cluster occupies the left foreground while a brown skipper butterfly perches on one magenta plume. The image shows bright magenta plumes and mid-green leaves against a softly lit, out-of-focus green background with the butterfly framed on the right. A fine strand of spider silk is visible stretching between two of the plumes.
