Today I noticed several Question Mark butterflies (Polygonia interrogationis) depositing eggs in a raspberry bush patch at the entrance to Hurlbert Swamp in Stewartstown, NH.
Surprisingly, they are already of the summer form.
Traveling around Southern Sweden and Copenhagen last week, I had no trouble finding ideas for my photo of the day. In fact, it was impossible to choose one so I ended up uploading several per day.
Now home and back at work, new idea's for my daily's are playing hard to find.
apple or no apple?
they say that if you peel an apple in one go & throw the peel over your shoulder, it falls down in the shape of the initial of your future spouse
You can clearly see the marks on the wing that give this butterfly it's name. These are the first question mark butterfly shots I have posted to flickr.
I believe this is a Question Mark (yeah, it is really named that) which landed on my bike seat at the Butterfly Garden tonight. At the University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS.
Première tentative convenable (c'est chaud!!!! et ça refroidit très lentement!)
First try correct (it's very hot, it's cooling down very slowly!)
I saw 6 butterflies today at the meadow - 4 American Snouts & 2 Question Marks. Yesterday I had a QM/Comma in our backyard. I think all of the butterflies I've seen lately over-wintered - they're very worn.
The QM's were very skittish and flew off quickly. The Snouts continuously circled the small area of shrubs where they hang out - circling me repeatedly. Yes, I whacked the bushes with my walking stick when I got there - and this QM and a Snout flew out and up into the air as if attacking each other. Pairs of Snouts did the same thing several times.
