came across 3 of these today while out looking for birds for the Great Backyard Bird Count (which i'm sure you're all participating in, right?) this particular individual assaulted me when i tried to cross a small clearing in a wet hardwood stand. from the looks of the left wings and tail, i'm not the first challenge it's had... ;)
In Chemistry i was ripping out pages from my notepad that were already full up with revision rubbish so i decided to screw them all up and make them into shapes.
Pull up a chair, this might be a long one. I have a story for you. As it’s Easter Sunday and all, I thought a bit of preaching might be appropriate (and no, Lou, I’m not religious at all : ).
Last night, when I was walking my dogs, I saw a CD lying in the gutter. On closer inspection, it was a home-made compilation, titled ‘Love Songs & Chillout’. Naturally, this piqued my interest. How did it come to be lying here, in the gutter? Was it the victim of a lovers’ tiff, perhaps? Or, maybe, a gust of wind blew it out of an open car window, as someone was attempting to load it into their car hi-fi? The possibilities were endless and intriguing, and only tempered by the disappointing fact that I didn’t have a camera on me to record this rather poignant accident. Well, you try walking two large, enthusiastic hounds with a DSLR swinging around your neck. It’s a non-starter, I promise. So, a moral? ‘Be Prepared’, maybe? Is that a moral or a motto? I don’t know.
And to today. Yes, I drove back down the same street to see if the CD was still there (of course it wasn’t, things don’t work out like that). Perhaps there was a little comfort in the thought that the owner and the CD may have been reunited; that after that lovers’ tiff, the moment of anger had been regretted, repented, and right at this moment, the two lovers for whom the CD had been compiled for so carefully were entwined in each others’ arms, listening to their favourite song. Still, it didn’t help with my photo for today, though, did it? Thoughtless swines.
So, I had to find another photo opportunity, and this caught my eye. Well, I had to go hunting for it; it was tucked away down an alley that I would never have reason to travel down, if I wasn’t nosying around. So, second moral for the day. No, not seek and ye shall find; more ‘beware of graffiti artists bearing aerosols’.
Have a nice day.
this is what I'm working on instead of doing graphic design research. I just can't find the motivation.
By contrast with wings folded the Question Mark resembles a leaf. The color is drab and the shape of the wing is quite unusual for a butterfly. Note the mark on the wing which resembles a question mark. I lightly accented this using the dodge tool in Photoshop.
....or Comma, I'm not certain, but it is an Angled-winged Butterfly......not in the best condition but I was happy to find this one, I've been trying for years. These resemble leaves or pieces of bark when the wings are folded, making them difficult to see. Thanks to monon738, this is a Question Mark.
Happy week end everyone!!!

The Question Mark is a North American nymphalid butterfly. It ranges from southern Canada and all of the eastern United States except the Florida peninsular, west to the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains, and south to southern Arizona and Mexico. They typically live in wooded areas, or generally any area that features a combination of trees and open spaces.
The adult butterfly has a wing span of 2 - 3 inches (5 - 7.5 cm). Its flight season is from May - September. A silver - white mark on the underside of the hindwing is broken into two parts, a curved line and a dot, creating a question (?) shaped mark that gives this species its common name.
This cryptic colored and uniquely shaped creature is one of the few butterflies that overwinter as adults. Hiding in cracks and crevices of wood, they remain inactive through the cold months. Their colors help keep them hidden and safe. This is also a butterfly that doesn’t prefer nectar, but will drink it occasionally. It's preferred food is tree sap, overripe fruit, and animal scat. The scat supplies proteins that the butterfly doesn't get from nectar. This butterfly can tolerate cooler temperatures than most other butterflies can't and as a result is usually one of the first to appear in the spring.
