Oh, Louella will be very happy. This is a nice shot showing both sides. For those who do not know, this butterfly photo is bigger than life size. It is a Lycaenid and about the size of a 25 centavo coin. Tina, please send a low res so I can feature it in paro-parozzi. Thanks.

Thanks Nestor. This is the female Papilio Rumanzovia. The larval host is the Citrus leaves.

Hi Martin, the other owl, How delighted I am!!! Those are very good captures, indeed. You took this with a 400mm? ? Then how would it be if you used a macro lens? The first butterfly is from the Nymphalid Family, Danainae sub family. I think it is the Parantica. I have to check. The second and third is the same butterfly, the beautiful Cethosia butterfly, also a Nymphalid, one of the most beautiful in the world. Thanks Martin for the pasalubong. Walang kasamang Otap? telyd More, Martin! I am greedy... esp. because you have beautiful captures.

Thanks for the info TeLyds! I'm sure you would have gone crazy with the number of butterflies at Alcoy. There were so many and so beautiful!
As for the Otap....I ate it na! Haha! ;D ;D ;D

No otap??? And why two species only??? Was it an easy trek? We should do another paro-parozzi butter fly watching trip soon. Mt. Palay-Palay is a good area. There are lots of butterflies now. I have definite plans to butterfly (bird din) watch in San Vicente in Bukidnon, close to Cagayan de Oro 1st week of June. That is a great place to go. End of the month, we will spend 3 days in QNP before Bukidnon. Post More, more, more always shoot butterflies. telyd

Can you try that on butterflies in flight? I am needing a photo of the common black with green spots Graphium Agamemnon- a common butterfly endlessly flittering. I need it for the song Galawgaw which is a feature in the book I am forever finishing. Anyone? telyd Hi Te Lyds, Would this be considered as a flight shot? all but one of its legs is touching the flower. ;D Graphium Agamemnon - July 16, 2007 at UP Diliman 30D + 300 mm L f4 IS + 1.4x Kenko TC, Sorry no exif data didn't know how to save it then ;D Cheers,

Yes, Neon. That is the galawgaw butterfly. Was this cropped? Can you send me the raw shot on jpeg please? I may do a series of photos of this butterfly to show the movement and to relate to the song. If I can have one with the fluttering wing, i will just superimpose the song on it.
By the way, there is a nesting Kingfisher at FLOR'S farm. I have to go and check this week. telyd

Whoa! A Lycaenid laying egg on the Medenilla buds. I'm not sure if this is the Jamides. I will check the guide. But this is a very interesting capture. Most butterflies lay their eggs on foliage which its larvae will later munch. But this one's larvae feed on the buds of the Medenilla flower. If the Medenilla is endemic, this butterfly is endemic.
The next one looks like a moth. The antenna is thick though. It can be a skipper. I will check this one out, too.
Thanks for sharing.
happy, telyd

It's summer! So you have the swallowtails now. Any Monarch preparing for migration? You should plant milkweeds so you can provide them a stop before they set off to Mexico.
Thanks JR for the beautiful captures. The butterflies in courtship are difficult to shoot. In a tropical country like ours, it is sad that we see only a few butterflies. You have to search for them in the wild. Even there, we sometimes see only a few, very few.
Keep watching, telyds

You have to search for them in the wild. Even there, we sometimes see only a few, very few. Keep watching, telyds We have the same problem here in Canada. Vancouver is beginning to be a concrete jungle as well. I hardly see too many butterflies in my area. thanks for your comment. You have steered my perception that Pinas has an abundant species of colourful butterflies (...at least compared to Canada due to our colder climate). I had to apply heavy sharpening filter on the second picture. Out of 12 shots this is the only one that came close to being presentable.
