"Seeking & Serving "

By: Karen Callihan (New Paris, PA)

This picture was taken on 09/30/2026 at 5:50 PM. With Canon EOS 6D Mark II, F 6.3, f 1/800, ISO 1600, 500 MM with Tamron SP 150-600 Lens, Aperture Priority. Why the title Seeking & Serving. This interaction is a fundamental biological exchange: the butterfly seeks nourishment, and the flower seeks reproduction. While the butterfly’s motivation is purely self-serving—the acquisition of food—its foraging behavior results in an unintended ecological service to the plant: pollination.
