Rayetta's December Butterfly -Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis)
Yikes! The weather has turned warm and intermittently sunny. I shall grab the camera plus my new teleconverter and adapter and head out to the east pasture to see if any of my butterflies are fluttering about. Come on Crumby. You can help carry stuff. Plus four eyes are better than two. Plus you can flush the butterflies.
All righty then.
Goodness gracious. There's one, a variegated fritallary on the buffalo grass. It may be the same one that was here last month. Hmmm. There goes a yellow one. It's very nervous. Yikes! What's that big one? Calm down Crumby, we need to sneak up on that big one.
Where Rayetta?
It just landed, right over there. See it?
Noper.
Stay behind me Crumby, while I sneak up on it.
The Lovely Druidess sneaks up on the big, cryptic butterfly and takes several pictures.
Ha! OK Crumby. Let's head for the laboratory.
This one is large and rather tame. That's a 1 - 2 on the Rayetta scales.
And Cryptic. Can you find the butterfly?
All righty then.
