A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
this butterfly is well adapted in her habitat . at the front side there is intense orange color with some black spots. At the back side the color is grey or even light brown, like dead leaf or rock.
Hi tonyavr! Please change the ID for this butterfly as per Jellis's and tmvdh's suggestions. Thanks in advance!
Definitely Polygonia egea. You may visit my website www.vanderheyden-vonseth.de to compare the two species of Polygonia ;-)...
Hello tonyavr and Welcome to the Project Noah community!
We hope you like the website as much as we do. There are many aspects to the site and community. The best way to get started is to read the FAQs at http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you can find all the tips, advice and "rules" of Project Noah. You, like the rest of the community, will be able to suggest IDs for species that you know (but that have not been identified), and make useful or encouraging comments on other users' spottings (and they on yours).
There are also "missions" you can join and add spottings to. See http://www.projectnoah.org/missions . A mission you should join is the http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/2004... to chose the best wild photo of 2016,only the spottings added to that mission are eligible.Note that most missions are "local". Be sure not to add a spotting to a mission that was outside of mission boundaries or theme :) Each mission has a map you may consult showing its range. We also maintain a blog archive http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we have posted previous articles from specialists from different geographical areas and categories of spottings, as well as wildlife "adventures".
So enjoy yourself, share, communicate, learn. See you around :)
