This sign with all the information about the Mourning Cloak Butterfly was attached to the pole in Yesterday's post. I had never heard of this butterfly but will be on the lookout come spring. I assume that the info and photo were put up by local resident Dave Beadle who is a noted illustrator of wildlife especially birds and moths. He is the author of the Peterson guide to Moths of Southeastern North America.
...I did pick up on that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful butterfly. I had never heard of it before!
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of this large flies here in the summer.
ReplyDeleteWell, I was in the right ballpark.
ReplyDeleteIn the UK they're known as Camberwell Beauties, because the first one was found in Camberwell in S London. I've never seen one either.
ReplyDeleteA pretty and unique butterfly.
ReplyDeleteFascinating!
ReplyDeleteThat is a fine story for the naming of this lane. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeletePutting up this information was a nice thing to do.
ReplyDeleteAha! :-)
ReplyDeleteI've often seen Mourning Cloaks.
ReplyDeleteNice to see that nature is getting a helping hand.
ReplyDeleteThats a very nice butterfly. Hadn't see that coming.
ReplyDeleteSad name for that black beauty.
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling this might be the reason Pat, it's a beautiful moth despite its name ✨
ReplyDeleteGlad I saw this. I love Canada
