Flutterby Butterfly

This small tortoiseshell butterfly (much sharper looking in large) has been frequenting the verbena. I bought the plants at about a foot high when Stiffknees and I went to Kiftsgate at the beginning of June and they are now 4 foot high and I love them. This butterly lands on every flower and also pulls out the little florets (extra),  I don't know if this is deliberate or if it gets stuck on its tongue but it makes a pretty picture, as if it is preparing a bouquet for a mate.
