Taken in July 2007 in Tioga County, PA.You have to look closely to see the difference between this and the striped hairstreak.
Having a connecting flight at Changi airport in Singapore gives a good chance to take some easy pictures of butterflies in the butterfly garden inside the airport.
Top tip - allow your lenses to get warm after the flight before opening them in the 30degree, 90% humidity in the garden.
I'm not familiar with it's name but she just hatched minutes ago from her pupa. My little one has been waiting for it to come out and he screamed for me to take a picture of it.
Aquesta es va estar quieta , quieta una bona estona deixant-se fer fotos amb flaix dun munt de companys i aguantant estoicament la ametralladora de la ràfaga de la meva càmera.
Another butterfly from the Reiman Gardens trip. Have been very busy lately and have not been able to keep up. Hopefully will be winding down soon.
Ringlets are common but often missed because of their sombre colouring, but to me they are part of summer
Gathered up all the caterpillars off the broccoli plants and gave them to the small boy as pets. Astonishingly they survived and this was the first one to turn into a butterfly.
One of the first butterflys this spring that allowed me close enough to get a photo. I photographed this rather large Sulphur in Early april 2012
I accidentally got into raising butterfly caterpillars after finding some GST caterpillars on my dwarf navel tree that barely had any leaves left on it. Had no idea what they were at first (thanks google!). After doing some research, I purchased a lemon tree and a thornless key lime tree and moved all of the caterpillars to the new trees so they wouldn't starve to death. It was EXTREMELY difficult to find trees that had not been treated with any pesticides or insecticides, but i finally managed to track some down. All in all it was a great experience, i learned a lot and had a lot of fun doing it, but it was a lot of work and very time consuming!
