I photographed this Rusty-tipped Page (Siproeta epaphus) at Emerald Valley, a private nature reserve northwest of Lake Yojoa near Peña Blanca, Honduras. Its orange wing tips and dark brown body stood out against the green foliage. It lives all year in tropical habitats from southern Texas to Brazil, Bolivia and Peru. It is also called the brown siproeta, and it is one of the most common butterflies in Central America. Emerald Valley's conservation work is led by Robert Gallardo and Olivia DÃaz. Its wings average 7 to 7.5 centimeters across.
I used a Canon R5 with the RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 plus the RF 1.4x extender for this one, at 1/60 sec, f/11, ISO 800. Gallardo's published inventory of Emerald Valley recorded 704 butterfly species, including more than 110 new records for Honduras.

Back Garden - couldn't believe my luck when he landed on this dead daffodil (I didn't spot the photobomber at the time)
Also had a Holly Blue land on some blossom, but too high for photos.

1 Holly Blue
I saw the same down the road. Only 4 butterflies today.

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis
Common name: Haawaiian hibiscus
Family Malvaceae
I have about 8 of these feeding up nicely on Beech, from eggs obtained by a female trapped in the Chilterns in mid September.
I photographed this Yellow-tipped Flasher (Telegonus anaphus) at Emerald Valley, a private nature reserve northwest of Lake Yojoa near Peña Blanca, Honduras. It perched on a cluster of white flowers, showing its yellow wing tips. It is a skipper found from Argentina north through Central America to Mexico and the West Indies, and strays turn up in the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Its caterpillars feed on vines in the bean family. Emerald Valley's conservation work is led by Robert Gallardo and Olivia DÃaz. Emerald Valley has more than 700 butterfly species within its 34-acre reserve.
I made this frame with a Canon R5 and the RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 plus the RF 1.4x extender, at 1/180 sec, f/11, ISO 800. Emerald Valley's list includes Emesis eleanorae, a butterfly known only from Honduras.

Knecht of Schwaderloch Saurer D330-B 8x4 3-way tipper parked up for the weekend at its owners depot in the canton of Aargu.
These impressive lorries with their massive hub-reduction equipped rear axles ceased production around 1982, and 40years on this one appears to still be working?
...that's my name for it...I don't know what it really is, but I thought it's worth posting it. I really liked this shot...but not sure why, because it's a little too busy...bu I guess it's the light and shadows that makes it for me. Hope you'll like it, too :))
Update: I went to the website of Butterfly World where this was taken and I found it is a Hebamoia Glaucippe...I still prefer Orange Tip...LOL :))
Orange-tip butterfly (Anthocharis cardamines) (female), Buchanan Castle Golf Course, Drymen. I don't know how this photo turned out sharp, as the stalk of grass was swaying gently in the breeze. Olympus's in-camera image stabilisation is definitely superior to my Nikon.
It was years before I saw the first Russet-tipped clubtail (Stylurus plagiatus) at the wetlands - and actually found a much-rarer Laura's clubtail (S. laurae) before that. In 2016 we had a severe summer drought - and Stylurus were hanging EVERYWHERE in Aug/Sept. I saw many plagiatus on every trip and I think 4 laurae total - and lots of pals came to see them too. Giff met me at my favorite spot there and saw 19 plagiatus walking out to meet me - then the two of us saw countless more! Last year it was back to the usual scarcity: I saw 4 plagiatus on September 4th and no laurae all season - then the first week of September we had an unusual cold dip into the 50's that really shortened the wrap-up of a number of big late-season species.
This year? Damian and I spotted 2 male Russet-tipped's patrolling over the high rushing water of Little River early this month. My husband and I have looked hi & lo all month - and not spotted another Stylurus flying or perched. A typical season - especially for a wet one!
This photo is one of many I haven't posted from 2 years ago. Keeping my fingers crossed ...
Happy Dragonfly Thursday!
Those green tips are starting to show in the garden ! Time for some macro shots !!! :-)

Enraged seagulls swarm on a bald eagle about 200' directly above my house. The eagle could not have cared less and did not seem at all concerned.

Grand Traverse Light is a lighthouse in the U.S. state of Michigan, located at the tip of the Leelanau Peninsula, which separates Lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay. It marks the Manitou passage, where Lake Michigan elides into Grand Traverse Bay.
I was delighted to find this orange tip settled with wings closed towards the end of my walk. It was in an area I do not usually visit or expect to see much.
The underside of this species is very different to other butterflies in Britain and makes the male orange tip very appealing in both ventral and dorsal views.
