Each bird and butterfly visiting the habitat tells a story through its distinctive habits, which are a constant source of fascination.

Not a local visitor, taken inside the heat of Hershey Garden's butterfly atrium; this one is used to warmer spots in South America I think, like many of the Heliconius.

Standing room only.

This monarch made it thru to the end of the insect/arachnid season hereabouts. Hopefully it will successfully migrate🤞

Bye for now, friends, and see you next year👋 .

Closeup photograph of a monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) standing atop a cherry red zinnia with out of focus vague greens and grays in the background. Zinnias have large blooms that top long, stiff stems with large leaves. The flower opens from the outside and is made up of overlapping layers of petals that radiate from a center filled with florets. The monarch is facing left in profile leaving its right side visible and it has its proboscis inserted into one of the flower's orange-yellow florets. The monarch is standing with its long hind legs on the zinnia's petals, its mid legs atop the flower's conical center in front of it, and its short fore legs pulled into its body making it appear as if it is standing with its arms atop the floret "table" in front of it. Monarch butterflies have orange wings with black and white patterned edges and black veining, black bodies and heads covered with white polka dots and fine black hairs, large black compound eyes, two long, black antennae, and six black, segmented legs.

The habitat's story is rewritten each day. A new experience every day, with a rotation of visitors and flowering plants.

These two butterflies are not the same! One is a Monarch and the other is a Viceroy Butterfly. Check the +ALT for the answer. #nature

This is the Viceroy Butterfly and I just learned that this is Müllerian mimicry. This is when two species benefiting by looking like each other because both are toxic when eaten! The Monarch Butterfly. WHO mimics who?

A California Sister butterfly rests on a yellow DYC bloom, its wings patterned in black, white, and fiery orange.

#nature #NaturePhotography #photography #TravelPhotography #WildlifePhotography
Close-up of a California Sister butterfly with black wings marked by white bands and orange tips, resting on a yellow wildflower. The fine textures of its wings and body are visible in sharp detail, set against a soft, blurred green background in a natural canyon setting. Close-up side view of a California Sister butterfly perched on a bright yellow wildflower, feeding with its proboscis extended. The butterfly's orange, white, and black patterned wings are partially open, and the image reveals delicate textures and soft green background blur.

The scene presents a close-up view, dominated by the vivid pink of bougainvillea blossoms, with a butterfly perched delicately on the flower's structure, seemingly feeding. The butterfly is positioned towards the center, slightly angled to the left, drawing the viewer's eye. The framing emphasizes the texture and color contrast between the butterfly and the flower, with the background blurred to accentuate the main subject.
