thank you everyone for the interesting links. Wow! Lots of info out there if you know how to look it seems
we've always called it Old Man's Beard - lichen?
dotun55 - fabulous shots on flicker. Are they yours? Makes me wish for a better camera. The wiki says only males? Does this mean there are 4 kinds of butterflys here? I thought male and females might look different of the same species? So I was thinking only 2 kinds? On the farms they do this in the dip spray that is sprayed on cars as they drive onto the farm. Could this poisen them?
thank you dotun55 - will follow up up.
you are probably right - I was comparing some google images. They look like there are various kinds. It's a beaut. I'll keep watching till you tell us what it is.
NICE! shot.
looks like a horse fly to me. Biters
tho don't know what he'd be doing in Canada
In Zambia we'd call this a chongololo
