Beautiful. They are so striking from above as you shot this one and I feel badly that their common name is âCommonâ Buckeye. They are âtemporary colonistsâ at my latitude: most years I see them but some years they didnât get this far north.
@rhoing Thanks, Thom! I couldn't get closer - it kept flitting off! I tried to shoot a dusty dark green one a couple of days ago, but it would not be still long enough. Some kind of skipper maybe? I just saw it's body which was green. Didn't see the wings other than they were dark.
@marlboromaam Green body? Hmm. Don't know off-handâ
You have an ace membership. Post a âthrow-away photoâ (one you could delete) however poor an image. I'd be happy to do my best. :)
