Question Mark at Ballanger Creek (Bass River State Forest)

QuestionMark User's Conference

I had to photo something outside when fluttering wings caught my eye. This butterfly had gotten stuck in a spider's web...Sorry Mr Spider, I just cant let you have it~~~I gently untangled the butterfly's feet from the sticky silk hoping I wouldn't break anything. After it was free I thought it would just fly away~~but it didn't. It clung onto my pants for a bit until it finally let me hold it for a few photos.

Central Park, NYC

enjoying sap from wounded sunflower steam along with flies.

Silver question mark in center of hindwing underside. Two broods a year; a winter brood with black-hindwinged adults and an overwintering brood with orange-hindwinged adults. Woodlands. Feeds on animal droppings and at sap flowers.

4 dots all in a row with the top wing one being elongated.

Laine and some friends - don't ask me what they're doing because I really don't know! It does seem pretty harmless, though. How much trouble can they get in stuffing themselves in cardboard boxes? Hmmm?

Soweit so gut, ist es denn nun ein Waldkätzlein oder eine Maine Coon??

Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis) winter form, dorsal.

Killbuck Creek Wildlife Area, Holmes Co., Ohio, USA.

September 4, 2006.

There are two colour forms of the Question Mark butterfly. This is the more colourful Winter form (the generation that overwinters), and wow, isn't it stunning?

Here is the less colourful, but also beautiful, Summer form...

The Question Mark's underside is quite the opposite of the upperside--an excellent example of cryptic camouflage. This photograph shows a Question Mark imitating a dead leaf (quite convincingly!).
