I love butterflies. When I'm not raising them, gardening for them and giving away Milkweed, I go on field trips with my local butterfly club
Here are some recent shots from Cherokee Marsh I took today
- Two Baltimore Checkerspots with really bad breath
- Prairie Rose
- Ctenuka moth
- Copper
- Eastern Comma

One of the prettiest sights are indeed Lepidopterans, butterflies and moths.
Here are some of my latest releases
1 thru 3 and 5 are Monarchs; 4 is a Polyphemus moth
@pixiedust
The Luna is absolutely on my bucket list of leps to see and/or raise or even snap on this property!
Seeing firsthand the Monarch migration is also on my bucket list.
And believe it or not, I use a Samsung phone to shoot with. I have great cropping capability, so I don't have to zoom, but I can blow my pic up a bit and crop them afterward.
I don't always get the best resolution, but it all depends on my models and how close I get.
