The Questionmark, Polygonia interrogationis, is an uncommon butterfly this far west. Before I could get more pictures, a competing Mourning Cloak butterfly chased it off. Unfortunately, I did not manage to get any shots of an even rarer Giant Swallowtail that I saw a short time later at the same location.

Some say it is a purveyor of ancient and mysterious artifacts. Some say that if you enter you experience a journey through the very heart of being. Some say it used to be a car showroom. We just don't know!
Actually, yeah, it was a car showroom that left behind these stickers. Still amusing though.

Seen along a woodland path at Sapsucker Woods. I submitted these two shots to BugGuide.net for identification -- thanks, Pauline, for the suggestion! -- and within 15 minutes I had my answer: This is a Question Mark butterfly. "Adult Food: Rotting fruit, tree sap, dung, carrion. Only when these are unavailable do Question Marks visit flowers such as common milkweed, aster, and sweet pepperbush."

I was in my backyard today trying to get used to a new lens by shooting some birds that like to visit our feeder, when I saw a flash of orange that at first I thought was a blowing leaf. I saw it move again on the ground in a familiar way and I thought, no it can't be?
Could it?
Not in February?
OK, I have to find out?
There's more to this guys name than just the marking on his wing.
This photo shows the beautifully camouflaged underside, with the "question mark" visible on the hindwing. Another related species, the Comma, has a silver comma, with no dot below it. No, I don't know of a Period butterfly! For a photo of the upperside, see here: www.flickr.com/photos/ncmls/4993920510/
I know--I have this species already and this is only a so-so shot, but I got so few today, and he was such a nice specimen that he's here anyway.
Photographed at Roaring River State Park, Missouri, on 14 June 2014.

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!
I bought this wine at Trader Joe's because, well, because it is just a question mark. It's from Oreana Winery in California, and according to the back of the label, the winemaker accidentally mixed two tanks of wine that were intended to be bottled separately. One was a cabernet sauvignon and the other was a syrah.
The unintentional blend created an interesting taste, a little unusual, but I liked it. And it was only $6. I'll be buying more of it.
I was given the project of designing some kind of image which creates a sense of the letter i was given. I was given the question mark and decide to make some kind of sculpture using only question marks which depicts the uncertainty/mystery surrounding the character itself. I was happy with my final outcome.
