#Butterfly Bounty

Putting in effort to create a #garden that promotes #biodiveristy has paid off. Here's a view with three #butterflies.

Can you find the Tiger Swallowtail, the Gulf Fritillary and the Monarch? The intense orange/scarlet flowers they are on is Mexican Sunflower, a #NativePlant in the Americas. #Pollinators love it!

Having many butterflies fluttering around during the day is very calming and diverting.

A group of orange flowers, each about 4 inches wide with bright yellow centers. Green leaves also visible and long flower stalks. Three butterflies are also seen. From the top an orange and black Monarch in the shade, then a yellow with black stripes Tiger Swallowtail in the center, and on a flower below the Monarch and a few inches away is a dark orange Gulf Fritillary.

This was a new one for me, flitted through the zinnia jungle in the front garden the other day, it’s a Pipevine Swallowtail (Battus philenor).

Close up color photo of a butterfly standing on an upright pink zinnia flower head in a garden. The butterfly has black wings with a C-shaped set of orange spots going from the mid to lower wing, getting progressively smaller as they go. The rear part of the lower wing has an iridescent blue color. The butterfly’s body is thick and black with orange spots on the thorax and the same iridescent blue as the wings on the abdomen.

Our asters are in season and this skipper butterfly (sachen skipper or Atalopedes campestris seems likely) is enjoying that as much as I am.
(09/21/23)

Closeup image of a sachem skipper butterfly (Atalopedes campestris) clinging to a purple-pink aster with its proboscis extending into the flower's center. This species has brown and tan markings on its wings and body. Its body is covered in small hairs that give it a furry appearance. It has two large brown eyes, two antennae, and six segmented legs. These asters have a daisy-like structure with long, purple-pink petals radiating from a yellow central disk. The background is out of focus green foliage.

For #butterfly observation, as well as other wildlife, today was great. For photography not so much. Could not get close to this Giant Swallowtail, so here’s a short video of its energetic flying from a close as I could get.

The yellow flower
Thrown into the flames
Its petals curl
Turn to glowing red
Its stem blackened
Charred and smoked
Into dust it fades
Then blows away

It is so wonderful to see the gorgeous orange and black Monarch butterflies as they are not as plentiful in recent years. This beauty was sipping nectar from the magenta Buddleia in the summer garden and the morning light was casting a lovely glow on the butterfly and bloom.

There are fewer and fewer butterflies around. I think this one is a cabbage white (although it's more of a light green) on New York aster. #butterfly #wildflower #naturephotography #insectphotography #nature #video

on this absolutely STUNNING day (sunny and 70s (F), blue skies with a few fluffy white clouds, gentle breeze, omg) I'm SO happy to have my little computer tent so I can work (and #mastodon and #pebble and #bluesky bc I haven't landed in only one place yet) out here. get a little work done, watch the monarch #butterfly on the (real name) butterfly bush... ahhhh life is good...

little grey tent small enough that it just fits a laptop computer inside, with an arched zipper opening. there's also a flap of fabric held up at a diagonal to block glare off the keyboard. in the top corners of the photo there's some sunny green foliage.

A butterfly, standing on a dry stem of plant, wings folded in its back.
It has grey-beige wings with a lot of black and orange spot circled in white.
Closer to the body, the wings get a blue colour, like if it has been sprayed with blue powder.
It has a fluffy body.

#SilentSunday #Butterfly #Monarch

Image description: a green monarch chrysalis hanging from the underside of a porch railing.

We've had quite a successful year for monarch caterpillars. We've seen at least a dozen caterpillars on the native milkweed we planted last year. We noticed about a week ago that they all disappeared, so we began searching around for the chrysalises. We discovered this one yesterday (which definitely wasn't there the day before) hanging underneath the railing to the front porch. We're excited to watch it for the next week and hopefully see it emerge!

A butterfly caught raiding the cat food dish. Was it after cat food or condensation? It has a beautiful subtle color and texture.

A butterfly, in shades of cream and brown, stands in a stainless steel bowl. The bowl is littered with brown crumbs. The butterfly's wings are almost folded together and held vertically above its abdomen. They are patterned with small, subtle tiger stripes and overlaid with tawny fur. The butterfly's long filament of a tongue is delicately probing the bowl's bottom.

Pls advise this newbie. Want to post a Q about #Nikon #binoculars repair where knowledgeable tooters will see it. I don't know how to get a query broader attention beyond the realm of my server (right term??), @m.ai6yr.org, and my (few) followers. Please don't hesitate to use very simple directions. Is there, e.g., an index of Mastodon servers? And how do I post my query to a server once I find it? In appreciation, here is a photo of a #Monarch #butterfly caterpillar in my garden.
