Saturday's Shots - Panther Blue Butterfly

Every visit I pay to my Pilates instructor, I find a new intriguing bit of nature as I'm going in & leaving. She has some of the largest Butterfly bushes I've ever seen at her entrance and I rarely see butterflies there.

Panther Blue Butterfly

 

This beautiful butterfly was spotted on the ground 10-feet away from the butterfly bush - he just didn't know yet what he was missing! Of course, I was drawn to coloring too - Carolina Panther blue!

 

Happy Saturday everyone!

Debe, I believe near where we live there is a protected area for the Blue Butterfly, I will drive by and take a picture of the sign. Just to be clear I have never seen one until now. It reminded me of the Monarch Butterfly in different color...Endre

Sounds like it is a literal butterfly wonderland in her yard, it must be beautiful to see on a daily basis!

I think I captured about 100 of them on my phone, Bob "RealMan" Timm! This was the only half-way decent one! LOL

Aren't you glad that film is a thing of the past Debe Maxwell, CRS ? If we were still using film that shot would have cost you about $50.00.

Well, how cool is that, Endre Barath, Jr.? I thought the same - I wonder if they're just a variety of the Monarch?

I don't know what they're called either, James Dray but, like Endre, I wonder if they are a Monarch?

I went in, all excited to show her what I found in her yard and she said, "Oh, yeah, he's out there all of the time!" I'm excited if I see a Monarch in my yard, Brian England!! LOL

My Son took my camera the other day in an attempt to snap a picture of a similar looking butterfly. After about an hour and nearly a mile worth of chasing he finally got a shot of it.

The color of that butterfly is exquisite, Debe.  I've seen none like it here in Sacramento.
