Question Mark
Polygonia interrogationis
When I saw this butterfly, the brilliant autumn sunset red color of the wings caught my eye - so much so that I literally ran after it to try to figure out what it was. I was somewhat disappointed (just a little, really) to find out it was a Question Mark. But as I looked closer, that disappointment changed to amazement at the rich tones of this beautiful specimen.
So very definitely worth a look large.
All the em-dashes have been converted into question marks! (see notes) I guess this doesn't just happen on the web!
My hypothesis: this text was sent over e-mail, then copied, pasted, printed, and installed, without a final proofread.
The problem is, em-dashes aren't universally supported characters. At least there weren't any smart quotes in the copy!
Question Mark Polygonia interrogationis. The bright white mark on the lower wing is the reason for the common name.
"Question Mark" is a new sculpture created by Rosario Marquardt and Roberto Behar and funded through a gift from the Madison Public Library Foundation. Photo by library staff.

This photo is an example of Lutz's Andorra stock-photo collection with actual 100.000+ quality images of Andorra: "The mystic country with hundreds of questionmarks". About 10% of these pics are seen here at Flickr.
Yes, meanwhile more than 10.000 of 100.000+ andorran photos visable online! It is the biggest professional image catalog of Andorra from the newer history: all regions, all cities and villages, all times, all seasons, all weather(s), many themes & categories.
This catalog is bundled in a sophisticated and consistent system for agencies or tourism planners with easy and logic handling for the non-professional. Light architects might print in large format for public areas. The effect is stunning.
Most images are made "to tell a story". So - instead of writing 1000 words, try 1 picture. Remember the rule "a picture paints a 1000 words"!

I really thought Jon Stewart of the Daily Show was exaggerating a wee bit in an October 2006 bit about the use of question marks on 24 hour news channels-- but not so. It seems Fox News does feel they can hide behind a question marks to plant the most outrageous ideas into viewers' heads.
Yes, I'm making the question mark jumper/pullover/sweater vest/whatever you call it. Hoping to have it done in time for Halloween, but whether I'll be able to pull the rest of the costume together is another matter.
** The photo title is taken from the Big Finish audio adventure "The Fires of Vulcan" and yes, Mel's line was directed at the jumper.
The time has come for Veronica to return. However, I simply don't know what you would like to see. Please tell me what you desire my darlings. What would you like to see me wearing on my feet and legs? Or perhaps you have something you would like to see them doing? Please tell me so that I may give you what you desire.
Question Mark butterfly (Polygonia interrogationis) laying several eggs on a Hackberry leaf.

I typically find their caterpillars on either Elm or Stinging Nettle. While I've long read their caterpillars feed on Hackberry too, this is the first time I've seen a Question Mark ovipositing on Hackberry.
BugGuide, (my other "bible") says that the Question Mark "seldom, if ever" nectars at flowers. I've seen and photographed them nectaring on Joe Pye Weed. Similarly, Tawny Emperors, not known to visit many flowers, also nectar on Joe Pye Weed. Maybe there's something in that stuff!? :-)
Here's a link to the nectaring Question Mark....
