One of the many reasons I choose native plants for my garden is so that the butterflies and all wildlife will have a place to rest as they pass through. When my son sees the butterflies and bees he is delighted and enchanted in a way that we often forget to be. I am reminded to look closer and treasure the moments when butterflies fly by.

I think the actors doing their characters were just brave. There were so many lovers here. Toxic relationships through the road to certainty. My most favorite lovers here were Sol and Ji-Wan. They’re problematic as well yet cute. I love how the butterflies were associated to the man’s character and how the leading lady got the name Na-Bi. Pretty genius. Nevertheless, this drama is too weak. I didn’t feel any emotions. It’s realistic and unrealistic at the same time hmmm.

I found this shot particularly interesting because the spots on this butterfly’s wings typically appear to be a bright white. My travel companion pointed out to me that with the sun hitting the wings at this angle, you can see that they are, in fact, an iridescent silver.
So intent was I on trying to photograph fluttering Monarchs and this American Lady Butterfly I almost missed the collection of what I thought were interesting beetles. Turns out these are moths - Ailanthus webworm moths to be exact. Seems they are neither friend nor foe, so, enjoy their colorful little selves.
A particularly beautiful highlight from our New York Book Fair list: tinyurl.com/MaggsNY18
“Dr Latham’s copy” of “The Aurelian, or Natural History of English Insects; namely Moths and Butterflies. Together with the Plants on which they feed” by Moses Harris. Second edition. Large paper copy. 44 hand-coloured plates. London, 1778
“One of the most outstanding authors of entomological literature during the eighteenth century” (Lisney). Harris’ distinguished work is almost entirely drawn from life. The plates are some of the finest to have been produced. This copy was owned by Dr John Latham, who is considered the grandfather of Australian ornithology.
Needed something meditative to do in between work so I’m drawing all of the butterflies in animal crossing lol So anywhere here’s the #peacockbutterfly enjoy! • • • #timelapse #arttimelapse #butterfly #nature #acnh #animalcrossing #animalcrossing #bugs #butterflies #digitalart #speedpaint #insectsofinstagram #procreate #instaart #illustration #womeninillustration (at Lebanon County, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMDoSffHe02/?igshid=1biz2ck2tc4n9
