This one is straight from the camera, since I still can't figure out how to process the raw-files of this kind of photos. I always get some ugly reflections, whatever I do (using RawTherapee). Any tips welcome.
The Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis) is a North American nymphalid butterfly. They live in wooded areas and city parks, or generally in areas which feature trees and free spaces. The adult butterfly has a wingspan of 4.5–7.6 cm (1.8–3.0 in). Its flight period is from May to September. "The silver mark on the underside of the hindwing is broken into two parts, a curved line and a dot, creating a ?-shaped mark that gives the species its common name.
As an adult butterfly, the Question Mark seeks out rotting fruit, tree sap, dung, or carrion as food sources. Only when these are unavailable do Question Marks visit flowers for nectar.
This species has been found in southern Canada and all of the eastern United States except peninsular Florida, west to the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains, south to southern Arizona and Mexico.
Generally speaking, the Question Mark flies and lays eggs in the spring until the end of May. The summer adults emerge and fly from May-September, laying eggs that develop into the winter form; these adults appear in late August and spend the winter in various shelters.

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.

Yesterday I got a top view shot of the Question Mark butterfly that I was pleased with. My shots of the side view, however, did not come out well, not Flickr worthy. Last year I noticed the same butterflies at a certain patch of Joe Pye weed day after day. (I knew they were the same because they were missing sections of wing at the same place)With that in mind I felt that if I returned to the spot the Question Mark was yesterday, it would be there again today. It was waiting for me.
