    Hi Jenny,
    Thanks for stopping by my blog today and demystifying the butterfly, which I did not to identify.

    The butterflies you have posted are so pretty. I did not know that there was such a thing as Question Mark Butterfly.

    Have a Beautiful Day!

    Peace :)

    That is simply beautiful - and I would have no idea what kind it was unless it had been a Monarch. :-)

    These are beautiful shots! I am no good at all on identifying butterflies. You even got a beautiful shadow on the first one! The antenna on the second one are really impressive, too. I am already missing summer...

    My first thought was Question Mark! As I tell my husband (often), I love to be right. :) This is a beauty! So glad you were able to get this shot.

    I've never seen a question mark butterfly. Those markings are lovely! Great shots EG. I saw a butterfly this morning in Washington DC and it was a dark orange color but it never settled for me to tell what it was. Fun to see it though. I haven't had a lot of success photographing butterflies this year. Yours are fantastic!

    Hi Felicia,

    The white dot beside the white C on the underwing makes the butterfly a question mark. :))

    Here, Butterfly. Come, Butterfly. That's a good girl. Now turn over so I can see under you wing. [actually I couldn't really see the one you are showing-- ;)] Sorry. But it was a fun post, thank you.
