When I first got a glimpse of a butterfly in mid March I thought it had to be a Mourning Cloak that I know overwinter over here, but as it sat down and gave me a better look specially at its underside I realized it was a Question Mark! I didn't realize that some of them overwintered this far North.
This is a male looking for a female to mate with at the Laurie Lawson Outdoor Education Centre..
What is the questions? We still don't know. While on vacation, we came across this sign "floating" in the air. We could see, nor find, an answer to it.
Have't been much railfanning lately. Did have operation #2 and a better scar view this time. My wife does better shots usually than I do.
I don't talk about the age...not since - well...ever.
Lied when I was young to be older - now I just lie.
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.
I think.A questionmark lays over these. I just liked the shape they made. Despite their condition, they had been lovingly placed as decoration !!!!!

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.
You can see the white marking on its hind wing that looks slightly like the question mark for which it is named.
Today is march 13th. Today I turn 29. I'm happy but at the same time living a kind of crisis for being close to 30. Time flies!!!!
This question mark is a tattoo that I have on my shoulder. I did it in 1999, in a moment when my life was experiencing important changes.
It always remembers me that nobody know what's coming next, what will happend to me, so.... I'm free but a the same time I must be flexible to avoid breaking when things are not ok.
I'm grateful for the nice life I have, for being able to chose what I want to do and for having so good friends to share things.
[This year Esther deserves a special mention for being the first one to congratulate me. Thank you! -- Who will be the winner next year.... ?]
Question Mark in the yard, Guilford, CT. Ventral (wing bottom) view. See previous photo for the wing tops. Not 100% sure of ID. Significantly bigger than a Comma.

With this I tried to achieve a kind of fisheye-ish effect, except I don't have a fisheye lense. Just toying with the perspective a little. Old board games are good for that kind of thing.
An image I did for a blog post.
I've been away from flickr for foevaa! I had this idea for a while, but never got around to doing it. I put the glitter question mark on an old tank top the night before and I'm really glad with the way it turned out. I'm sure if I were to actually wear it though, I'd leave glitter trails everywhere I went. -__- Hahah. Hope you like it!
