  2. A lovely orange visitor. We see gulf fritillaries in late summer and early autumn - they're native here. I really should plant some passionflowers for them to lay their eggs on.

  3. #MothOfTheDay - at last the #autumn moths arrive (technically 8 days before the start, but who cares?)

    SALLOW
    Cirrhia icteritia

    A nice lemon yellow version here, though is much differentiation in markings between specimens, some with more pinky-brown blotchings. Status: common

  8. Two-eyed eighty-eight butterfly (Callicore pitheas) is a tropical brush-footed butterfly known for the distinctive number-like patterns and eye spots on its hind wings. Found from from Mexico (Chiapas) through Central America down to Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador.

  10. The Cabbage White Butterfly: Trying to Understand Something Ordinary

    The Cabbage White Butterfly: Trying to Understand Something Ordinary I remember the first time I deliberately tried to identify a butterfly. I was maybe seven or eight, sitting in my relatives's garden, and this white butterfly kept landing on the vegetables. My relative said it was a cabbage white butterfly, and I remember asking her why it was called that. She said something like "because it's white and it eats cabbage," which seemed to answer the question completely at the […]

  15. Went back to Palomar Mountain State Park to to what shakes up there for #butterflies in September and to check out lower Doane Valley, which I haven’t seen before. There was a large orange fast flyer that caught me so off guard I forgot to turn my camera on. I think it was a Fritillary of some kind. Otherwise not unusual but nice to see stuff.

  16. Slim pickings last night. Summer moths gone and Autumn moths yet to pick up for me. Lots of Large Yellow Underwings, but #MothOfTheDay is a:

    L-ALBUM WAINSCOT
    Mythimna l-album

    Largely restricted to Southern Counties of the UK. Like damp places and larvae feed on grasses.

  17. A Red Admiral that has alighted on a tree trunk along the Pierce Road, Harvard #Forest. If it had closed its wings vertically above its body, the underside pattern would have blended in perfectly with the bark of the tree.

  18. 🦋 Favonius quercus (Nazarena)
    Casi siempre está ahí arriba, en las copas de los árboles. No es una mariposa que se deje encontrar fácilmente a ras de suelo.
    Por eso, cuando finalmente tienes la oportunidad de verla posada y conseguir una fotografía como esta, la satisfacción es doble. A pasar buen finde!!!

  19. Buenos días con la Parnassius apollo 🦋

    Hay mariposas bonitas y luego está el apolo.

    Sus alas blancas, casi translúcidas, y esos intensos ocelos rojos hacen de esta especie una de las grandes protagonistas de las montañas pirenaicas.

    Fotografiarla siempre es un pequeño privilegio. ❤️🏔️
