An Arctic butterfly - Polaris Fritillary. Takes two years to reach the adult stage. Weak flier, stays low out of the wind.

Thanks Ramsey - I haven't noticed that many butterflies around this year so was pleased to get this one.

Still trying to figure this one out - some type of Duskywing?
Edit: Bugguide tells me it's a Mangrove Skipper.

I photographed a tagged Monarch at Presqu'ile Provincial Park a couple of years ago and I responded to the information on the tag - I got a response but it seems that at the time the organization didn't have the infrastructure to actually process the responses.

On my last expedition one of the brass contact tags on my 300mm DA* lens came adrift - I (gingerly) bent it back in place without it snapping but somehow the white balance had changed to "bleach bypass". A bit of a change from my usual Monarch shots.

It's a Gulf Fritillary - one of my favourites but have to go to the southern US to see it.

A Tiger Moth attracted to my very basic lighting setup this past weekend.

We have skippers - why can't we have flickers?

As I said, I have problems with moth I.D.! Yes, it was the cecropia.

That Polyphemus is amazing! I will be taking a UV lamp for our stay up north. Placed against a white cotton sheet or towel it should attract some moths. Hopefully I will have a few to post. I have a good moth book but identifying them is still really hard.

Well done Sylvain - certainly an arresting image that would convey a good deal as part of the exhibit.

Interesting how those "eyes" show up in butterfly wings all over the world -

The first butterfly I've been able to photograph this year - a Peacock in a London park.

Painted Ladies are moving through at the moment:

Clouded Sulphur. It's hard to capture the upper wing surfaces as they close them as soon as they land. I caught this one in mid-flutter.
