I don’t usually manage to capture shots of butterflies. But two came to rest near my feet as I stood at Rock Creek in California. I usually like to correctly name things I find but my reference shelf is bereft of butterfly books and I presently lack patience for Google. So, this is the one with blue dots.
This is the orange one with black dots. Both are very pretty.
If you can provide an accurate name, your comment is welcomed.
Lovely patterns on these two. I can’t ID them though.
They have pretty markings on their wings.
Nicely captured! When I find a butterfly, they never stick around long enough.
First one is a mourning cloak, second is an eastern comma. The website I used to id is: gardenswithwings.com
Thank you, Debra! I was amazed how long these two stayed in one place.
Blue dots and black dots works for me! Love butterflies, but they’re hard to capture.
Their names? Billy and Martha. You are welcome.
The patterns are beautifully symmetrical!
