Cabbage White ( Pieris rapae ) female -
finally -
holding still long enough for a few shots -
there are butterflies all over -
fly-bys are done on schedule to bother the human -
of that I am convinced -
told this young Lady to invite her friends -
we shall see -

Camouflaged Looper (Synchlora aerata) -
attaches bits of flowers and other plant material to its body -
for great camouflage -
it is an inch worrm -
who has to do this all over again -

" It's easy to be humble when you fall flat on your face. "
- Peggy C
- passenger / rear seat of a friend's vehicle
- showing us around Ocala FL where they lived
- lots of horse farms and I was doing my best to get shots of them all
- each one had a gate fancier than the last one
- at this point, my friend .. who drives with a lead foot said
- "Peggy, I can slow down if you want me to "
- but, I knew what his "slow down" would be
- about 5mph less
- lesson learned this day
- 1 - do not wear a stripe shirt
- 2 - the sun will reflect your camera
- 3- tell him to slow down !
- kept many / dumped many pics -- this is one is to remember -
- for Poetography

** 4 notes across top **
Pearl Crescent (Phyciodes tharos) female
Kaufman Field Guide to Butterflies of North America
and
www.jeffpippen.com/butterflies/pearlcrescent.htm
Jeff Pippen has a link to the Silvery Checkerspot - noting that identification can "be a challenge"
www.jeffpippen.com/butterflies/silverycheckerspot.htm
Pearl Crescent is more common where I am in North Carolina and is smaller than the Silvery Checkerspot, though the underside of the wings are different in the two ..
Same butterfly photos taken over 2 days - there is a notch out of the right lower wing in some photos ..
