Nice shot of the Skipper (also called Darter) butterfly, Hesperidae family. Did you take this in Vancouver? I have always seen the Swallowtails posted and this is the first time I've seen a skipper from Vancouver, if this one is from there. Thanks for sharing. telyds

Thanks for sharing. telyds Yes it was in Vancouver, it's always been my policy to shoot first ID later for birds. But for butterflies anything that stood still long enough for me to take a shot is a bonus. I leave it to Telyds to ID ;D This one was very tiny less than 3/4 of an inch.

This very popular butterfly for wedding releases is called the Idea leucone[/b] or the Paper Kite buttterfly. It's big (about 5" + across when open) and it is a slow flyer. The lifespan is about 3 months, according to breeders, that is why they are the favorites even of butterfly houses. They are beautiful to have in the garden. I have the host vine of its larvae. Thanks for sharing, Neon. You will also post the video??? telyd

Can we schedule a Palay palay trip? I am recuperating from a pinched nerve. I have been on my back, could not move much and concentrate bec. of pain... but I am getting better. Guys, who sit long hours doing PP, this is a warning. Yeah, there is such a thing as payBACK time.
Enjoy a great season of butterflies! telyds

Oh, you captured the beautiful Cethosia biblis, one of my favorite butterflies. The underside of the wings has a beautiful pattern. Thanks for sharing, Bob. Hay, I miss Palay-palay. lyd

I have to check the 1st two.. I am confused with Paranticas and Ideopsis. The 3rd photo is the Papilio Daedalus... very hard to photograph, it is always fluttering. Nice shot with the upper-wing showing. This is one of the most beautiful Papilios we have. Thanks for sharing Syl. telyds

The tailed butterflies are Lycaenids, very small butterflies (thumbnail size). They love to sip nectar saps from tree barks, juice from ripe or rotten fruits, nectar from flowers or minerals from the ground. The one on the right and the second one (without the silver metallic dots) is the Drupadia niasica. I can't id the one on the left. I still have to check my files. Nice discoveries, Adri. Even the moths are very interesting. Thanks for sharing. telyds
