Multicolored Asian lady beetle (larva) commented on by HansGPaal Wisconsin, USA10 years ago

Agree, ladybug larva. My little girl grows them in a kit from Insect Lore.

Unknown spotting commented on by HansGPaal Connecticut, USA11 years ago

This would appear to be a type of fritillary, maybe an Atlantis fritillary, but can't be sure from the photo.

Gulf Fritillary commented on by HansGPaal Tennessee, USA11 years ago

That is a great close up you got on the one image!

Pearl Crescent commented on by HansGPaal Chesapeake, Virginia, USA11 years ago

This appears to be in the fritillary family, but without a better look at the bottom of the wings it's hard to be sure. I want to guess at the Altlantic Fritillary, Speyera Atlantis, but can't be sure. Nice photo!

Eastern Tailed Blue commented on by HansGPaal Nashville-Davidson, Tennessee, USA11 years ago

Didn't notice the second picture at first. Nice job!

Fan Clubmoss commented on by HansGPaal Somerset, Pennsylvania, USA11 years ago

Thanks a lot for the info! I was suspecting a type of moss but it has thrown me because it looks like cedar close up. Much appreciated!
