Wonderful spotting Valerie! ornithoptera80 -- I was leaning towards Stagmomantis limbata -- Did you look at this possibility?

Amazing spotting Sukanya!!

Welcome to Project Noah Abe. I believe your correct with your ID of perillus bioculatus, which gets its red colors from its diet.

Your welcome DrNamgyalT.Sherpa. I am so fascinated by your habitats in Sikkim!!

Robert you're correct! Thank you so much for the correct ID!

Gary thank you so much for asking! Not fall colors - its only mid summer! I'm not happy with the ID of this stonecrop! The basal portion of the plant is in the crevice. Which leaves only what you see. The flowers- the stems-the leaves on the stems. Several species of stonecrop to choose from - but which one!

Ok Mauron This is awesome! Please give us some info on this! What are the butterflies doing and why? Why are they called Wood White? The picture looks like it was taken at night? Mauron -- I've got a hundred more questions after these !! Has the weather there been exceptionally hot during the day?

There is a resemblance. I will look into it. Thanks much Robert.

I know it seems harmless enough. I would still want to research it more. But the thistle that you have in Minnesota - I have no idea of their edibleness. If you decide to try some though please let me know what you think of it.

No I haven't Gary. I would be very leery of it.
