Butterflies and Skipperscalifornia tortoiseshell
hi there again,
thanks so much for you help with the photos i sent you last night. i did find that b-fly again this afternoon and did get a better photo. it’s not a calendar shot, but it clearly shows that it is the calif tortoiseshell. he was opening and closing his wings, mostly closing, and somehow i managed to get a photo with his wings more open. i was pretty excited. i’ve never seen one before and they are considered rare where i live according to my "butterflies through binoculars, the west" book. again thanks for all your work in helping someone like me id these wonderful creatures. cheers,
venice kelly
