Bronze Duke (Euthalia nara shania), family Nymphalidae, Chiang Mai, Thailand

Other subspecies of this butterfly have a bronzier coloration, thus the name.

Bug of the Day

There was, I swear, a 5-minute break in the weather today where the sun came out, so I ran outside with the doggos (who are not fans of rain) and was surprised to see this new visitor to the back yard: Limenitis arthemis astyanax - the Red-spotted Purple. It was actually still raining even though the sun was out, I suppose this butterfly was as confused as I was...:-)

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Butterflies are important pollinators, but due to their straw-like mouths most of them feed are restricted to a liquid diet of nectar (among other things). One of the few exceptions are zebra longwing butterflies, which don't just transport pollen-- they feed on it! Pollen is rich in protein, which allows this species to live as adults for several months; a rare feat for butterflies.

A tiny precious lady is basking in the sunlight (*\◡ᆺ◡)

I really love the way that she is flapping her wings. It's so elegant!

Insects are finally starting to fly again after a long winter! Several species of butterflies such as this Nymphalis antiopa and Nymphalis I-album. Polygonia seem to be quite skittish and difficult to photograph. The Compton Tortoiseshell conveniently flew down from a tree and landed on leaf litter right in front of me!
