not sure who took this photo - we've been swapping cameras a lot that day :)
Hello Everyone!
I chose an archived image with a splash of colour to end the week! The Atlantis Fritillary is known for its blue-grey eye and the broad black band on the hindwing margins. They can be found in woodland habitats. I spotted this butterfly in cottage country where the cottage owner had placed a pot of marigolds near the road. A treat to have the Atlantis fly in for its nectar as I walked by! You'll see another visitor there too!
Enjoy the day and weekend ahead! Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. I truly appreciate hearing from you!

Named from the similarity of their prominent proboscis that looks like the beak of a snipe. Adults can often be seen sitting on vegetation or on tree trunks waiting to catch and pounce on passing prey. Some species of snipe flies are hematophagous as adults and some are predatory of insects. Larvae develop as predators in the soil and wood detritus. Found in wet meadows, marshes and woodland margins. Can sometimes be know as the Down-Looker Fly as they have the habit of perching head-downward on tree trunks.
Gli ambienti di margine costituiscono spesso habitat di grande interesse. Si prenda ad esempio il margine del bosco, con i lembi di prato che la luce del sole trasforma in autentiche concentrazioni di biodiversità. Qui si osservano infatti fioriture prolungate, mentre all'interno del bosco l'ombra avvolge la base degli alberi. E con i fiori le decine e decine di specie di insetti che costituiscono la base di numerose catene alimentari ..... ..
Passeggiando ai margini del bosco nelle ore del pomeriggio dei primi giorni di novembre, si può cogliere la scenografia creata dalla luce radente. Il sole si inabissa all'orizzonte di ponente verso la metà del pomeriggio e la luce filtra attraverso gli alberi di margine, creando scie di luce del tutto speciali. Momenti magici, che sono uno dei tanti doni dell'autunno ..... ..

I can't add much to the title -- an orange rose with pink edges on the petals.
Thank you for looking! Isn't God a great artist?
The fuchsias are most closely related to the northern hemisphere genus Circaea. Fuchsia is a genus of flowering plants that consists mostly of shrubs or small trees. Almost 110 species of Fuchsia are recognized; the vast majority are native to South America, but a few occur north through Central America to Mexico, and also several from New Zealand to Tahiti. Fuchsia leaves are opposite or in whorls of three to five, simple lanceolate, and usually have serrated margins (entire in some species), 1–25 cm long, and can be either deciduous or evergreen, depending on the species. The flowers are very decorative; they have a pendulous teardrop shape and are displayed in profusion throughout the summer and autumn, and all year in tropical species. They have four long, slender sepals and four shorter, broader petals; in many species, the sepals are bright red and the petals purple (colours that attract the hummingbirds that pollinate them), but the colours can vary from white to dark red, purple-blue, and orange. A few have yellowish tones. 12279
Hopefully I have identified this correctly - butterflies are not my specialty but when I was researching it, that one looked the closest.
I took this photo on my hike at Granite Creek last weekend. The butterfly was very kind to pose on the fern long enough for me to get my camera out since I was standing on a rock in the middle of a stream crossing!

Nascosta fra le rocce ai margini del bosco non ha resistito alla curiosità di vedere un tizio armato di fotocamera che si aggirava nei dintorni.

The Small Ground-Finch is one of the most common and highly adaptable, as well as widespread of the Darwin’s Finches of the Galapagos Islands. In towns and villages they are found foraging on dusty margins of streets and act very much as would a House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) in other parts of the world. Yet in higher and moister areas they may be seen perched on a Galapagos Tortoise, waiting for bugs or seeds to be uncovered by the movements of the large reptile. This is the smallest and smallest billed of the ground-finches and thus it eats the smallest seeds available.
Il margine del bosco è un habitat speciale. E' la periferia del consorzio forestale, dove la luce accende la competizione tra le piante e dove si affollano a decine e decine gli organismi legati ai fiori e agli arbusti che fioriscono e fruttificano proprio grazie alla carezza della luce. Persino l'autunno rifulge con colori diversi e più smaglianti, sul margine del bosco. Perché l'autunno è, appunto, una festa di luce ..... ..
On winter’s margin, see the small birds now with half-forged memories come flocking home to gardens famous for their charity.
The green globe’s broken; vines like tangled veins hang at the entrance to the silent wood.
With half a loaf, I am the prince of crumbs;
By snow’s down, the birds amassed will sing like children for their sire to walk abroad!
But what I love, is the gray stubborn hawk who floats alone beyond the frozen vines;
And what I dream of are the patient deer who stand on legs like reeds and drink that wind; -
They are what saves the world: who choose to grow thin to a starting point beyond this squalor. - Mary Oliver

This margined calligrapher is a miniature fly, feeding here on the pollen from a bloodroot blossom. Those delightful decorations on its abdomen look like they've been drawn on by a calligrapher. That black spot at the back is diagnostic for this species. Females have a space between their eyes at the top - males eyes would touch. Their larvae eat harmful plant pests like aphids and thrips.
Al margine del centro storico del piccolo comune di Galatina si trova la Basilica di Santa Caterina d'Alessandria. L'edificio ha un valore inestimabile dal punto di vista pittorico e architettonico e viene addirittura soprannominata la "Cappella Sistina del Salento".
On the edge of the historic center of the small town of Galatina is the Basilica of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria. The building has an invaluable value from a pictorial and architectural point of view and is even nicknamed the "Sistine Chapel of Salento".
This beautiful beetle gets the first part of its name from that colorful red margin around its pronotum. It feeds on carrion, such as the decaying flesh found underneath this dead white-tailed deer's fur.

The rusty-margined flycatcher (Myiozetetes cayanensis) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers.
It is found in northern and central South America in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela; also eastern Panama. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and heavily degraded former forest. The Rusty-margined Flycatcher is found at forest edge and in woody second growth.
The Rusty-margined Flycatcher is found at the forest edge and in woody second growth. The bird is considered IUCN Least Concern.
More retiring and less vocal than the Social Flycatcher, the Rusty-margined Flycatcher often perches in open areas hawking insects or sallying to the ground to forage. The seasonal movements of the Rusty-margined Flycatcher are not well known, but some relative abundance of some in northern Sound America is reported to fluctuate seasonally. - from Wikipedia.
The four-spotted chaser (Libellula quadrimaculata), known in North America as the four-spotted skimmer, is a dragonfly of the family Libellulidae found widely throughout Europe, Asia, and North America.
The adult stage is found between April to early September in the United Kingdom, and from mid-May to mid-August in Ireland. Larvae have a two-year developmental cycle. Adults feed predominantly on mosquitoes, gnats, and midges the larvae feed primarily on other aquatic insect larvae and on tadpoles.
The male is considered to be highly aggressive and will defend a given territory from incursions from other males of the species. The male is known to form preferences for prominent perches and will often return to the same perches around the margins of pools and ponds whilst it patrols for intruders. Males have a favourable view of the sky during perching. They look toward a section of the sky away from the sun, with less radiation but a higher UV and blue-violet saturation. Thus, the fovea of the eyes, which is sensitive to blue and UV radiation, is optimally suited to the detection of flying insects against the blue sky.[3] Both sexes are prolific fliers, and mating takes place in the air, rather than on perches or amongst the vegetation. The female lays her eggs on floating vegetation. They tend to be easier to approach than Broad-bodied Chasers.
A few days ago I posted a black blister beetle photo, and that species was solid black. This margined blister beetle has a light gray margin around its elytra. Both blister beetle species lay their eggs near grasshopper egg pods and the larvae eat the grasshopper eggs upon hatching. Margined blister beetle larvae spend the winter frozen in the soil before thawing out in springtime when they pupate and then emerge as adults now when grasshopper eggs are abundant in the soil. This margined blister beetle would be bad news to bother and pick up as your skin would quickly be burned by a potent fluid filled with chemicals that cause blisters. This hungry adult is likely hoping to finds some virgin's bower flowers to feed on.

Black-Margined Flower Fly, Syrphus opinator, on Aster alpinus, the only North American native species of Aster.
Evolution is full of mutualism--cooperation within a species--and symbiosis--cooperation between species. All living things exist in ecosystems, which necessarily involve multiple symbiotic relationships. Humans could do better at practicing Life.
An experiment with selective coloring. Feeling a little blue these days for a lot of reasons, and cheered somewhat by Blue & Yellow palettes on Flickr. Apologies for any shortfalls in this self-education project.
