Butterfly of unknown species because I don't know anything about bugs. Photo curiosity of my cousin.

Spotted today in Moorreesburg, a Utetheisa Pulchella moth or Crimson Spotted Flunkey.
There were hundreds of them fluttering around.
I am very curious to know what the colloquial name is here in South Africa.

A nice male Dotted Border Moth found yesterday, as is the case of many spring species, their females are flightless, caterpillar hosts are deciduous trees like birch.

Today I saw a Wanderer Butterfly flitting around my patio garden. First time ever.
Unusual for Ballarat, I believe.

Minus 10°C in the #naturepark #VosgesDuNord, grey fog swallows up the white landscape and the birds are miserably hungry. I already fill the feeders a couple of times a day.
My dog Bilbo doesn't want to walk in the sharp wind. I should better #embroider some #paperart #butterflies as #soulwarmers?

western tiger swallowtail (Papilio rutulus) in the garden. They love the butterfly brush (Buddleja) we planted years ago #naturephotography #butterfly #insect #garden #flowers #pollinators #naturebeauty #Nikon #Z9 #Sigma #Lepidopterology

Some spectacular, beautiful moths I've seen late at night in my backyard. Investigating online, I think they are: a Vine Sphinx, a Stained Glass Moth, and a Pawpaw Sphinx, but I'm not a #Lepidopterologist so I may be wrong.

אם את בקטע של חקר פרפרים, למשל, סביר להניח שיהיה לך נושא שיחה משותף עם אנשים שמשתמשים בהאשטג #lepidopterology. אבל גם אם לא תפתחי שיחות בנושא, כנראה שתלמדי דברים חדשים כל יום 🙂
These Gulf Fritillary butterflies are often mistaken for Monarchs here on Maui. The chrome spotting on the edges of the wings reflects light in a truly brilliant way. The oranges and reddish hues are spectacular in the right light.
