I happened upon this butterfly in the woods one day and knew it was different from the common ones I normally see. Audubon’s Field Guide to Insects and Spiders revealed it was a Question Mark Butterfly, so named because of a marking that looks similar to that punctuation mark on the backside of its wings. I removed the original background using PS and added this orange shimmer to accentuate the lovely color of this unusual butterfly.

This butterfly landed on my Dad’s rucksack, it must have been the bright colours that attracted it!!
The Gulf Fritillary, Agraulis vanillae, a striking, bright orange butterfly of the family Nymphalidae, subfamily Heliconiinae. These were formerly classified in a separate family, the Heliconiidae or longwing butterflies, and like other longwings this species does have long, rather narrow wings in comparison with other butterflies. It is not closely related to the true fritillaries. It is a medium to large butterfly, with a wingspan of from 6 to 9.5 cm. Its underwings are buff, with large silvery spots. It takes its name from the fact that migrating flights of the butterflies are sometimes seen over the Gulf of Mexico. / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- 2009 BUTTERFLIES CALENDAR / / / / / / Or a T-Shirt to go along with /

The Pearl Crescent is a very tiny butterfly; this one was fluttering around a wood pile and rested long enough to allow me to take its photo. It was a joy getting a close-up look at this lovely delicate creature.
For all the people who brighten my day, this is my thanks to you. For those who take the time to view my gallery, to leave kind words, to offer encouragement, to give advice, to send a friendly bubblemail, to offer cheerfulness on gray days, to purchase a card or a print—THANKS! You color my world! I appreciate your kindness, one and all! I would like to offer special thanks to the anonymous buyers in the past couple of days, one who purchased a mounted print of “Red Panda in hiding” and one who purchased ten cards of “In Remembrance of a Departed Mother.” God reward you for your generosity.

I don’t often see monarch butterflies, so when I spotted this one at Hodges Gardens near Many, Louisiana, I employed my husband’s help in trying to get a good shot at it. Tommy stood guard at the upper level of the butterfly garden while I posted myself in the lower portion. Thanks to my husband’s keen eye, I finally relocated the elusive flutterer and got this photo of it to which I’ve applied some PS filters.

The Pearl Crescent is a very small butterfly with a wing span of about an inch and a half. This one was feeding on spring clover blossoms and was extraordinarily cooperative, allowing me to get very close with the macro lens. (Image is full frame, no cropping).

The Zebra Longwing was declared the official butterfly of Florida in 1996. The adults are unusual among butterflies in that they eat pollen as well as sipping nectar. This ability contributes to their longevity. Because of their relatively long lifespan and their activity throughout the day, Another unusual feature is that adults roost in groups of up to 70, and return to the same roost each evening. / Capture in Ft.
