#Butterflies #Butterfly #Science #Iowa #Mexico 1/n In an earlier post, I mentioned that it's bittersweet to see the beautiful Monarch Butterflies this late in the year. They should be much further south by now. But on a happier note, some of the ones that passed through earlier are nearing their destination. (continued)

#MothOfTheDay is a real autumn regular in the Southeast UK. Again, a continental immigrant and not yet a suspected colonist. I had 6 of these visitors last night. The ethereal...

#Comma #butterfly showing the “comma”. With their wings open, these butterflies are bright orange and easy to spot. With wings closed they are easily mistaken for a dead leaf. @wwtworldwide@mastodonapp.uk#nature #wildlife #invertebrates #insects #lepidoptera #butterflies

1. At last I managed to photo the #cloudedyellow butterfly! It is so elusive and only stays still for a second. Sorry about the quality of the photo.
2. These butterflies have been so rare but this year there seem to be quite a few about. It's good to see a comeback of the species in this drought.
3. Exercised in water today.

Monarchs are found primarily in North, Central, and South America but also sometimes found in other parts of the world. https://folksy.com/find/item/8530260 #FediGiftShop #ScottishArtist #MastoArt #CreativeToots#Butterflies #MonarchButterflies #OriginalArt #Drawing #MixedMedia #Painting #Artwork #TraditionalArtist #ArtFromScotland #GiftIdeas #ArtShop #ShopIndy #SupportSmallBusiness #NatureArt

Some photos from yesterday’s hike, including a gorgeous orange butterfly I saw right near the end of the trail. I hiked about 5.15 km in 1h20m with 220m elevation gain. #hiking #green #mountain #justkeepmoving #outdoors #nature #butterflies #mosstodon #nh #newhampshire

#MothOfTheDay is POPLAR KITTEN (left and top right) Fircula bifida Similar to Sallow Kitten (bottom right). Differences - Poplar Kitten much larger (1.5 x size), less bold contrasting features & central dark band has straighter, smoother outer edge. Sallow band edge more scalloped. #moths #moth #mothsandbutterflies #butterflies #MothsMatter #nature #wildlife #britishwildlife #lepidoptera #entomology #insect #cute #garden #summer #august #conservation #biodiversity #alttext #science #educate

#MothOfTheDay - if Mothman did adult movies, this would surely be my name ... DUSKY THORN Ennomos fuscantaria For me, this autumnal leaf mimic is the first real sign of the beginning of the end of #summer. Larval foodplant is ash. #moths #moth #mothsandbutterflies #butterflies #MothsMatter #nature #wildlife #britishwildlife #lepidoptera #entomology #insect #cute #garden #summer #august #conservation #biodiversity #alttext #science #educate

This morning's walk in the rain brought to you by the first tiger milkweed butterfly caterpillar I've seen in I don't know how long. #butterflies #hike

Had a lovely visitor to the garden the other day👇. Haven't posted much lately. Been really busy, my big lens in on the fritz, & I'm getting ready for back surgery this fall so my posts/replies will be sporadic. #insects #butterflies #wildlife #nature #MacroPhotography #photography #AltText

#MothOfTheDay is a bit of a controversial one. Larvae can strip oak trees and cause terrible skin / breathing problems if handled. Yet the moth itself (completely non-toxic) is quite neat and pretty. OAK PROCESSIONARY Thaumetopoea processionea As always, recorded for official use. #moths #moth #mothsandbutterflies #butterflies #MothsMatter #nature #wildlife #britishwildlife #lepidoptera #entomology #insect #cute #garden #summer #july #conservation #biodiversity #alttext #science #educate

More people should backlight insects. They are so thin that light interacts with them differently than larger animals. I could ID the butterfly, but for now I just want to focus on taking nice pictures. #macroPhotography #butterflies
