I got lucky again with the local butterflies. This first one I took early in the morning, and this fellow wasn't very active so I managed a decent picture.

This picture I took several hours later. This one is for Roy - wasn't sure I would post it, but after looking at Roger's wonderful bird pictures and the comments posted on that thread, I couldn't resist...

Thanks for the complements - I almost titled the thread "Blue Pictures" but thought that was a bit too much. The two butterflies in the second one were too involved to care that I was sticking a macro lens pretty close to them. Usually I can't get anywhere near them before they take off.

There is a group of blues called azures in which the underwings of the females are whitish. In the Spring Azure, which is a common and widespread species, the female has a dark area on the top of the forewing such as that which is just visible in the first photo, so it is possible that is what these are. Great photos - now all we need is a size scale in the picture (these are really hard to ID from a photo because there are so many similar forms)! :GKeep the pictures coming anyway. |

Nice series...they really show off the details. You are lucky that they sat still and did not "flutter-by":-)
