letumgo 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2007 Lovely picture! I can understand why you wanted to capture the image. The coloration of this "flutter-by" reminds me of the colors of a Jungle Cock neck. Very cool. Nice to see the first images of spring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bryan 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2007 I hadn't even thought of it looking like a jungle cock cape, but now that you mention it it actually does, lol. I find the black butterflies usually have the best colors and patterns. I think it is just the drastic contrast of colors that always balance out somehow. Just goes to show we can create all the beautiful things we want, but can never make anything more beautiful than nature can make it. OK, thats my philosophical moment for a while, thinking like that makes my head hurt, lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 16, 2007 That butterfly looks like a salmon fly Bud Buidry would tie. Very nice coloring. Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve P 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2007 Just a bit of an entomology lesson for the day that is a red spotted purple butterfly (common name) Limenitis Arthemis (scientific name) and yes it is very beautiful we have them every where here in MO and I love them when they flock to the bird bath.
