#butterfly
I finally got a Sulphur photo!
These are a reliable butterfly for my area - very common. But they're so fast & fluttery. All I've ever gotten before are yellow blurs lol.
I'm a bit stuck w the ID. It's either a Cloudless Sulphur or an Orange-barred Sulphur. Both equally likely. The Cloudless are usually more neon-green tinged...but this could also be a newly emerged Orange-barred, which are yellow.
Dunno. But absolutely ecstatic either way. 😂

I did see one #butterfly today, despite the overcast conditions. It was a #Monarch. First I’ve seen in three months.
Butterfly of unknown species because I don't know anything about bugs. Photo curiosity of my cousin.

The Hairstreak #butterfly pix turned out okay though, but I’m not entirely sure what kind of Hairstreak it is. Probably a Gray.



One of the most beautiful butterflies is the Eastern (Canadian) Tiger Swallowtail or Papilio glaucus. The male flaunts yellow and black stripes like that of a tiger, is very large and colorful and has a wingspan of 3 - 5 inches.

Earlier this spring I purchased a milkweed plant for the front #garden and it’s done well, though to my knowledge it had so far failed to attract any Monarch #butterflies. But yesterday was the day, a single Monarch appeared. Then this morning I read that due to habitat destruction and other causes the overwintering population in Mexico was down by 22% this year, so there will be far fewer of them migrating through here, a real tragedy.




Saw one #Sulphur #butterfly. Which is nice but they should be common as hell this time of year.

Just look at this cute mural created by Melbourne’s own, artist #Juzpop.
It features on a feature wall, opposite the bar in the city’s #herosmelbourne and was painted June last year.
I love the fem strength and sass of this woman featured. So too the gorgeous flowers and foliage that sits around the main feature.
Oh, and that pretty #butterfly… oh so good!
Justine (Juzpop) nailed this mural perfectly, matching perfectly with the vibe of this bar, in #melbourne #Australia.

Ich war wohl zu früh dran für die Schmetterlinge. Daher heute nur ein Männchen des Großen Kohlweisslings.
Hätte eigentlich gehofft, dass ich wieder einen Roten Apollo sehe.
Gut, wird das Schleppen der Ausrüstung als "Training" verbucht 😅

I found a new butterfly in my garden!
A Gray Hairstreak
I didn't even know this little beauty existed, but it's a match in my butterfly guide. So tiny & delicate - only about an inch in size. Spotted it fluttering over the watermelon vine flowers. So small I actually thought it was a moth at first.
Apparently very common, but it was a thrilling new discovery for me, lol.

Another first for me! Fairly certain this is a Queen butterfly.
Photo snapped just now & I was so excited I had to share. Thought it was a Monarch at first, but those white spots say otherwise.
I'm absolutely thrilled. Can't believe the luck I'm having w butterflies this year!
Unlike moths, butterfly are a monophyletic group, meaning that they have a single ancestor that is exclusive to the group.
Now, we know more about this common ancestor, when it arose and how it vibed

Fairly certain it's a Variegated Fritillary. But someone absolutely please correct me if I'm wrong.
Oh, I'm so excited. I've seen them in my garden before but have never managed to get pics. It was fluttering around a little wildflower bed I have in my yard & believe you me I RAN to get the camera. 😂

Butterflies originated in North America after splitting from moths, new study suggests.
NPR reports: "This shift probably took place some 100 million years ago when a rogue lineage of moths moved dayward."

Well just as soon as I post something about all the #rain we’ve been getting this week here in SE #Texas, the clouds part & the sun comes out. So I went out to assess the soggy front garden. A positive thing that’s happening along with, or despite, the weather is all the zinnias I planted from seed are starting to zoom & bloom. And Johnny-on-the-spot, a Gulf Fritillary #butterfly (known zinnia lovers) came fluttering in, the first of the season I’ve seen.
The #MonarchButterfly, with wings folded and feeding on the pink Buddleia flowers in the summer garden was a welcome sight as Monarchs are now endangered so it is a treat to see them. The pink blooms and deep orange and black of the butterfly contrasted nicely and made a lovely, vibrant image.

If only monarch butterflies came in pink also? I love the classic ones, but there's something about a pink and black one that appeals to me. That's the beauty of poetic license.

A butterfly who just emerged from its chrysalis
#inverteFest #PhonePhotography #UrbanNature #Butterfly #Chrysalis #insects
Two-tailed Swallowtail
These large Tigers show up in April each year and are a treat to see through the summer. Spotted feeding on the Flowering Quince in my backyard yesterday.
This individual seems to be missing the tail structure on its left hind wing. Curious, it's obviously newly emerged as there is no wear on the wing fringe.
Note also the long hair-like filaments on those portions of the wings closest to the body and on the thorax.
For the longest time #photography was my only creative outlet. Often I was stuck taking pictures at noon during lunch. Noontime light is far from ideal. But this swallowtail #butterfly landed on a #purple #thistle in perfect bloom. It was one of those moments that makes a photographer smile. How often does nature present us with a scene of vivid complimentary colors? I have a stack of these photos. Every one of them is gorgeous because of the subject. ❤️🦋
While cutting grass I came across this monarch butterfly chrysalis on a bit of garden debris. Isn’t it gorgeous? #photo #nature #butterfly #gardening
A throwback to an idea I return to: imagining composite creatures. One of my first, the winged walrus is about contrasts and whimsy.

I hope everyone has a good Monday so far, over here it's cold (2°C) and I need more coffee.
Here's a work in progress for you, a butterfly appropriately called Comma. The outer side looks like a dried leaf, except for a white spot on the hind wings shaped like a C.
