I found another Comma Butterfly (Polygonia c-album) braving the elements of this still fairly cold period of Spring. I doubt that the temperature, even with the sun shining, was no more than 11 Celsius at the time. This one was in pretty good condition considering it has been hibernating through our Winter.
WONDERFUL SHOTS OF THE COMMA AND PRIMROSES. HAPPY EASTER.
ReplyDeleteThanks Margaret and too you.
DeleteHaven't seen any of those yet around here. Not exactly butterfly weather this weekend.
ReplyDeleteNo it s not great John, it should be better in the next few days from the weather forecast anyway.
DeleteI've not seen a single butterfly warming itself up yet - and thus making it easier to photograph - but seen a couple of small torts on the wing today
ReplyDeleteThere are a few about, but it needs to be in the sunny and sheltered areas Simon.
DeleteLovely images, have seen a few butterflies here too, but mainly queen bumble bees and lots of oil beetles.
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzie.
DeleteWonderful photo's of the Comma Roy, they are colourful and clear. I have not seen any of them in NL, in fact, yours is the first I see this year ;-).
ReplyDeleteKind regards and a happy Easter,
