I've been thinking about this comment of yours, and realised that with
wildflowers we commonly take a "species" photo, which is the flower itself,
as well as an "environment" photo, which is the entire plant and it's nearby
surroundings. I didn't think that environment photos would pertain to
butterflies as well.
I recently picked up a copy of "Wildflowers of the Plateau & Canyon
Country" by Larry Ulrich and Susan Lamb. In it, he has additional photos
that show the surrounding landscape of some of his subjects, putting them in
a very broad perspective. Seeing these flowers with backdrops of red
sandstone cliffs or distant mountains makes the plant itself all the more
attractive.
