The Harvester is the only carnivorous butterfly in New Hampshire. The caterpillar feeds on wooly aphids that form clusters on alders.
Wentworth Location, NH
Not sure if this is a butterfly or a moth - it has the antennae of a butterfly but the upright wings of a moth. Despite its identity crisis, it was happily sitting on a jasmine bud after a rain shower.
The holly blue butterfly in the previous shots had been remarkably calm about me taking photos, so when I'd finished, I stuck a finger under it's nose and much to my surprise it walked on and stayed there quite a while. It only flew off when I tried walking up the garden to show the wife.
On the buddleia. I'm hopeless at butterflies and can't find our book - can anyone enlighten me as to what sort it is? I know it's a fairly common one.
Had an unexpected visitor in the garden the other day - a red admiral butterfly. Natural light/fill flash. Focus stacked using zerene
For some reason my Illinois Butterfly book just calls these Baltimores instead of Baltimore Checkerspots, which it seems the rest of the world calls them. Anyway, I stuck the camera in his/her face and used the flash to get this.
