Question Mark » Fri, Jul 28th 2006 10:59 am
This is apparently a “question mark” butterfly. Up until just now, I’d planned on calling this post “Monarch”, but then I decided to have a second look at it and realized that it quite obviously is not a Monarch butterfly.
According to this page describing the species, I’ve captured a rare occurrence! “The Question Mark rarely feeds on flowers…”

Prettier than if you had captured it feeding on animal droppings, too.

It may be prettier, but it would be so much more intriguing if it _had_ been feeding on animal droppings.

Yeah, that tidbit of info sort of skewed my whole perception of the butterfly species. Graceful and beautiful sure, but shit-eaters?
