At this stage the Comma Butterfly on the wing is the mid-summer variety having emerged at the beginning of July. These are fine specimens and make nice images to shoot.
Hi Roy This is oone beautiful buterfly. Great shots of them. I like the 1st shot the best however the collage is interesting in that I can see the butterflies in different position all at once. I do't think we have ti butterfly here,anyway I have never seen one. I see my comments are still going into your spam, there is nothing I can do about that. I still cannot put replies on my posts, Well that s blogger.
Great set of pics. I love seeing that little comma mark on the underside of the wings, too. I don't think I've spotted this butterfly yet this year. I'd better open my eyes wider!
Hey Roy....I love these guys when you post them, so playful looking is the way I see them (didn't ask I just do)! All wonderful photo's, but I have a couple fav.#7,8,9!! I haven't seen a Question Mark at all this summer so far!! Grace
Beautiful Roy, I saw this Comma butterfly yesterday in my garden but could not photograph him. Was not a number but kept fluttering. Very nice this series of yours!
