What if -Meg and Dia
All the time we question ourselves, asking "what if"
We never know the answer to these type of questions but thats why we just have to take a leap of faith. Thats what life is about. If we knew how our life was going to end up then it would be boring and very predictable. So maybe these "what if" type questions don't have to be as bad as most people make them out to be.
So go ahead start asking..
What if?
I was not only excited to see this one, but photograph it as well. It must have stayed in position for 10-15 seconds allowing me to get off several shots. Photographed in the Dixon Gardens of Memphis, Tennessee. ~ view large
That title doesn't mean I wonder what type of butterfly it is - it is actually called a Question Mark or the specific classification is:
Polygonia interrogationis
They are a Question Mark because of a small marking on the underside of there wings that actually looks like a question mark. They even have a cousin that looks pretty similar that is called a Comma - and you can guess why. I have several pictures of Question Marks - because they have a habit of spreading their wings - like the one in the picture - and sunning themselves. It makes for a easy photo opportunity.

Subject for Monthly teaching article posted on our website. I am redesigning the site so I am trying to develop a way of graphically dealing with the article subjects for the front page.

The right balloon at the right place above the right person.
Question Marks and Commas are uncommon butterflies not found on flowers. They're usually in woods or woodsy edges. Large and beautiful with wings spread, they take on the camouflage of dried leaves when perched.
Here is my very first Question Mark of the year. I wish that I could have moved to get a better shot but these guys are very skittish.
This Questionmark, Polygonia interrogationis, was already a bit tattered when I saw it at Weston Bend State Park, Missouri.
how can you avoid to take pictures of a girl with such a tattoo?
By the way, it's a permanent tatoo

Taken at Marine Study Center in Oceanside, NY with Pentax K100D and Tamron 70-300 Di Macro. Question Marks mimic dead leaves well, as illustrated by this one hanging from a branch.
