Re: Butterflies and Moths


They are definitely breathtaking. I can definitely imagine the first people to see them mistook them for birds.

Re: Butterflies and Moths


I know what you mean. Thinking back I can still remember the first Giant Swallowtail that I ever saw. I did mistake it for a bird and they only have up to a 6 inch wingspan. Of course that does make them the largest species found in the US and Canada.

It happened up in Arkansas during my very first official butterfly count as I recall.

Re: Butterflies and Moths


It is always interesting to see the differences in the butterflies that I see in different areas of the country. Of course some seem to be universal.

Re: Butterflies and Moths


I wonder why Monarchs literally 'symbolize' in some peoples minds....the perfect "Butterfly"?
Do you think it's because they are so many places or because they are so beautiful?

Your photos never cease to amaze me, BTW♥
