Nice shot!
You're welcome John B. and thank you! Hope to see more butterflies from you in the future :)
Actually, they are not too bright. They are pretty clear and have good quality, a good job John! I asked because the butterfly appeared quite yellowish in the previous pictures, making me suspect that it was not Mottled Emigrent but Lemon Emigrent. But now with these, I see that it indeed is a Mottled Emigrant. Thank you very much for the explanation :) Nice photographs btw!
Does it appear yellowish in these photos due to the lighting?
STUNNING!
It indeed is a very beautiful and unique butterfly, Ingrid3 :)
Thank you thewndrr :)
Gorgeous!
Loll! I think their name derives from the time they fly in the natural environment, dusk. The reason they are observed inside houses is that they are often attracted by lights. So, they sometimes come inside the house at the night and stay there until the next morning till the lights go off. This particular one was still inside in the middle of the day. I thought it couldn't find its way out, so I helped it find its way. It disappeared soon after it saw daylight, and I never found it again.
