The image is a close-up of a small orange butterfly resting on a purple thistle flower. The butterfly has a yellow body with black markings on its wings and antennae. Its body is facing towards the right side of the image, and its wings are spread out as if it is about to take flight. The flower has a pointed tip and is surrounded by thistle-like petals. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a grassy field with green foliage.
