Wow, nice one Tina. I'm glad you took time to focus on this beauty. Thank you also for starting this thread. I will ask permission from the Admin how I can move all the butterflies posted from the beginning to this thread. This butterfly is from the Nymphalid family. I believe it is the Argyreus hyperbius (Linneus, 1763) Fruhstorfer 1900 sagada. (not endemic). Ah, the underside of the wings has a different pattern, I hope you capture it with the wings folded next time. Very happy,  telyds |

This is the only photo I've got that shows A LITTLE of the underside - the pattern is definitely different from the one above.  |

Nice macro showing details of the head. Butterflies do not have mandibles, they are on a liquid diet. They get supply from nectars, fruit juices, water seepage on the ground, even moisture from our skin for minerals. The eyes have multiple lenses that is why, like many people, if you focus on many things, the vision is blurred. They are sensitive to colors and movement so bright colors in the wild and moving objects are easily seen. Th antennae act as sensors, to smell and to navigate. Thanks for sharing. telyds PS. you have full shot of the Morpho?

Wow, nice shots of the Delias and your bee friend. Thanks for sharing. telyds
And yes, I am so happy with this 300mm. According to my my butterfly mentor, my shots have improved. If only, if only... imagine 12 years of butterfly watching in different parts of our country and it is only now that I am getting decent shots. I definitely will not be able to go back to those places again. That's why we should always seize the moment.
Capture vividly in the mind and keep in the heart and praise God. Nothing is wasted.
Thanks, Neon for the encouraging remark. telyds

That's a nice shot of a Papilio demoleus butterfly, more popularly known as the Lime butterfly because the larval host is the Citrus tree family. Since butterflies have poor eyesight (if you have more than a hundred lens in each eye, you won't be able to focus for sure), it is compensated with great sensors- its feet and antennae. It probably liked the fragrance this variety of pine tree. Thanks for sharing, Renoir. telyds

Ate Lyds, It's been a while ... a papilio. Swallowtail?  |

Post by Lydia Robledo on Jul 23, 2010 12:11:34 GMT
Yes, Teddy, it is a Papilio. I think it is what you call there the Eastern Tiger Papilio. It is one of the most common but one of the most beautiful as well. Thanks for sharing. telyds
