Cressida cressida, the clearwing swallowtail or 'big greasy' butterfly. Large and conspicuously coloured - it is toxic to potential predators. Toxins are absorbed from the food that it eats as a caterpillar. Seen in Cape York. FNQ.

An Apefly (Spalgis epius) spotted in Punggol, Singapore on 25 Oct 2025. A small, rare butterfly whose caterpillar feeds on mealybugs. It gets it name for the supposed resemblance of its pupa to the face of an ape.

Life is hard some days, but hang in there like this gravity-defying monarch caterpillar. Better days and beautiful changes ahead.

A Monarch #butterfly #caterpillar that had been on some Milkweed in the back yard. It's now on the ground next to the Milkweed plants. Is it crawling off to form a chrysalis?

CW: Raupe
Habe eben eine Schwalbenschwanz-Raupe an der Petersilie entdeckt!🥰🎉🤗
So eine hab ich ja ewig nicht gesehen!
Wusste gar nicht, dass die auch an Petersilie gehen, aber gut, ist ja ein Doldenblütler und als einzige hier noch schön saftig und grün.🤷♀️
Ich hoffe, das bekommt ihr und sie gedeiht gut davon.😊

Nature 1 - Humans 0. Absolutely fascinating, and this really doesn’t surprise me. Humans mess up everything, and sometimes it’s best to let nature take its course…

Bulletin #7151, Landscaping for #Butterflies in #Maine (PDF)
This fact sheet was developed by: Nancy Coverstone, Extension educator, Jim Dill, Extension pest management specialist, and Lois Berg Stack, Extension ornamental horticulture specialist.
Table of Contents:
- The Life Cycle of Butterflies
- Common Maine Butterflies
- How to Create Habitat that Entices Butterflies
- “Wild” Places Attract Butterflies
- #NativePlants Support Butterflies
- Design Tips for a Successful #ButterflyGarden
- Nectar Sources for Butterflies and Moths
- Larval Food Sources
- Further Readings"Butterflies are beautiful insects, and they are also an important part of the ecosystem. In their search for nectar, they spread pollen from one flower to another and help ensure seed for new generations of plants. They also recycle nutrients and are prey for many species of birds, spiders and small mammals. Gardening and landscaping can create or enhance habitats for butterflies so they may survive and thrive. Whether your yard is in a city, suburb or rural community, you can make it a haven for butterflies.
Butterflies belong to the insect order Lepidoptera, along with moths and skippers. All species of butterflies in Maine, of which there are more than one hundred, have four wings covered with small scales. The butterfly families in Maine are #swallowtails (Papilionidae), whites and sulphurs (Pieridae), gossamer-wings (Lycaenidae), brush-footed butterflies (Nymphalidae), #monarchs (Danaidae), and arctics and satyrs (Satyridae), which includes the endangered #KatahdinArctic. Skippers (#Hesperiidae) have characteristics of both butterflies and moths.
When developing a landscape for butterflies, first consider butterfly species present in your area and their preferred habitats. Then consider plants suited to your climate and your backyard habitat. Assess what your landscape already provides, and add to that. Each butterfly species has a preference or need for a particular habitat type, such as meadow, woods, woodland edges or marshes. Also, some species are specialists, while others are generalists regarding food sources. The habitat preference as well as plants you provide will determine your success in attracting a particular butterfly species. An identification field guide will prove helpful."

Monarch Butterflies
This gentle fable follows two monarch butterflies who approach life in very different ways: one driven by purpose, the other by wonder and joy. Through their journey, the story reflects on happiness, meaning, and the many ways a life can be considered complete.https://albert-alarcon.com/2026/04/16/monarch-butterflies-a-short-fable/

For scale, the butterfly eggs in this shot are 1.8 mm in size.
"The overall winner in the ’18 and over’ category is Raghuram Annadana (Instagram: @macro_by_raghu) for his photo ‘Parasitic Play’ showing the eggs of a Banana Skipper butterfly (Erionota thrax) taken in India. He captured a parasitic wasp in the act of laying its own eggs inside the butterfly eggs. "

A new skipper for me: Woodland Skipper, Ochlodes sylvanoides.
Lost in the sauce on this lavender plant and let me get close with my phone 😍
