Comma butterfly (Polygonia c-album) (Please read my poetry)
I was walking in my garden today wondering what image would be acceptable for Macro Mondays this week with a topic of eye, then out of the blue a little inspiration fluttered by, landing on a garden tub .... Ah,ha thought I this little chap would certainly fit the bill having two eyes.
I grabbed my little camera and took some macro images as can be seen in the photo.
The weather was somewhat overcast today and really not ideally suited for photography but still that's alright.
These Comma butterflies are superb colourful insects with their wings wide open, lovely orange hues, but with wings closed they look like a dried up leaf, a fantastic piece of natural camouflage selected from good old nature.
I try to plant shrubs and flowers to attract butterflies and bee's in my little urban jungle, well seeing beautiful insects throughout my garden is what it is all about!
Unfortunately it's been a poor year so far for insects generally I've noticed a big decline in numbers in my garden, the weather recently has been unusual for all sorts of reasons and butterflies seem to of been hit quite badly, of course there is a knock-on effect for our feathered friends also, I have been supplementing our wild birds to try and help out because their food supply has dwindled, and the thought of little chicks going without their food really saddens me.
"Comma Butterfly"
Come on comma unfold those wings, listen' hark' the birdies sing, take the air flap and stutter I glimpse you now my hearts a flutter, please don't wait looking like leaves, summers short, the spider weaves, it's so short, so shoot the breeze, just be awesome; "please, please, please" "I really love you my little tease."
The end.
Cheers!
Love & Peace!
