Not Halloween yet, but I couldn’t help myself. This was taken at Lengshuikeng in Yangmingshan National Park.

Same as yesterday’s Daily Photo, but with opened wings.

Symbrenthia lilaea comes out to say good morning during a hike.
Daily Photo – Abraximorpha davidii ermasis
Couldn’t find it in my book featuring the 133 most common varieties of butterflies in Taiwan nor could I find it in my larger book containing 280 varieties… luckily I was able to I.D. it here.
NOTE: I seem to be experiencing a technical hiccup while attempting to upload images onto WordPress for the Daily Photos I set for scheduled publishing on Saturday and Sunday while I am away. Posting will resume on Monday.
Daily Photo – Papilio demoleus libanius
This lovely specimen stopped only briefly for Darren and I at the Taipei Botanical Garden.
Daily Photo – Lethe europa pavida
I told myself I had been posting too many butterfly pictures and promised not to post one today. However, after receiving infuriating news regarding a former employer’s recent actions I needed something to brighten my day.
I woke up extra early to find this one. I’ve photographed this variety on another occasion but this picture is more clear. From what I’ve seen, they have a tendency of hanging out in really dark regions of a forest making it hard to get a decent shot using available light.
Daily Photo – Junonia lemonias aenaria
Check it out with its wings open.
Daily Photo – Hasora Badra
More skippers! Identifying them is half the fun…
