A 10mm caterpillar of Polygonia interrogationis, the Question Mark, a North American nymphalid butterfly. It lives in wooded areas, city parks, generally in areas with a combination of trees and open space.
This is the largest of the Polygonia (Comma) species from North America, multi-brooded with the larvae feeding on Nettle, Hop and Elm. Adults hibernate.
Larvae of the Question Mark butterfly, like all lepdiopteran larvae, mature through a series of stages called instars. Near the end of each instar, the larva undergoes a process called apolysis, in which the cuticle, a tough outer layer made of a mixture of chitin and specialized proteins, is released from the softer epidermis beneath, and the epidermis begins to form a new cuticle beneath. At the end of each instar, the larva moults the old cuticle, and the new cuticle expands, before rapidly hardening and developing pigment. Development of butterfly wing patterns begins by the last larval instar.

Spotted this young horse with a distinctive marking like a question mark while photographing a herd of horses near Cape Bonavista.

Some never-before seen images from the archives, February of 2015 to be exact. I was making photos of Bella with the blackboard in the background, and M had a few funny ideas for silly poses. Going through my online albums today I thought about putting them all in a collage and tell a story. I still remember how much we laughed at shooting time and that we giggled helplessly at the results on the LCD display.
