Butterfly

An attractive butterfly. I don't see that many here, except perhaps in spring. Quite a few flowrs are coming out now, & my front garden is looking better. Apparently New Guinea has the best butterflies in the world.

The monarchs are migrating now to Mexico. I am having lots of them visiting my Summer Clematis. I have photos of the plant and plan to start a discussion about it. I hope I will be fortunate enough to get a shot of the monarchs on it as well. One of my friends on Gather sent in shots of the final destination of the Monarchs, she went on a trip there. It was awesome to see them hanging off the trees like so much tissue paper decorations.

lets see if i can share my recent photo of a butterfly. my husband planted a butterfly bush in the front yard for me this spring and lately it has been drawing alot of different butterflies attention, though i don't know how to attach a picture to a post.

I do not seem to have the camera when I need it. When I get the camera the butterfly or subject is gone. Abigail my cat soaks her feet in my pool I can't seem to catch her with my camera.

Through my general knowledge about butterfly, most species are day-flying so they regularly attract attention....Thanks Grandpa Bob for providing that great photo of Monash Butterfly. Economically, butterflies are important by virtue of their being one of the major agents of pollination, in addition to a number of species which are pests on domestic crops and trees. Culturally, butterflies are a popular motif in the visual and literary arts. The adults, caterpillars and pupas of some species form part of the diet in many parts of the world. ..o..o..Grandpa Bob, a "myth" says, if butterfly or a group of them started their day-flying to or in our house giving and indicates that we are welcoming new good visitors in future day. Let see whether is it true or just a myth. HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!..get ready Grandpa Bob!!! Because in my life, that kind of indication never fails so far....let us see the prove, the good unknown new visitor!!! You see, Grandpa Bob!!! on typing my response(real time) to your discussion, one brown baby butterfly landing on my keyboard....HA! HA! HA!...LET US SEE HOW? :::michael:::
