Sometimes I don't, sometimes I do said...

Love your nature photos - and both the butterflies are beautiful!

But for your description, I'd have believed that this is a moth, by the fuzz on its wings - but I guess the antennae are more reliable indicators?

I think you are absolutely amazing, my friend... but, you already knew that, didn't you? hehe Another absolutely awesome Andree shot!

I have also had some butterflies to appear as if by magic. I like your swallowtail with its perfect wings that, by fall, will be tattered and ripped and it is hard to imagine that they can still fly but they do.Nice photography.

Andrée...it is a wonderful area for nature photography. Your ringlet photo is nice. I have photographed four or five around here and they are so very different from each other.

My previous CCM post featured a Yellow-headed Blackbird. You can see it here: http://ashrunner.blogspot.com/2008/06/camera-critter-sunday-no-9.html
