This is my first Common Wood Nymph. Notice how he just blends in with the environment.
He moved along the trail with us for about 50 ft, then I lost sight of him.
Took me a while to figure this one out, but hopefully I got it correct.
I know birders have a lifer list.
But I have a butterfly photographed lifer list. And even if I have the name wrong, it is still a first for me. Hap can probably tell me if I am correct with the name. Remember this was in the GSMNP, some of the options I found were only out west, which eliminated them from the choice.
I actually have a photograph of each butterfly and add a magnet and have them together on the door going out to the sunroom. My husband looked at it last weekend and commented on how it had grown this year. I still need to get some of them on the 'board'. Maybe at the end of this session I will photograph the door and post that.

Leedra: Beautiful capture of the butterfly. I had a first this week and will be posting it tonight. I see you have it on the sidebar.
Very cool. I actually photographed two butterflies mating yesterday, going to post them hope they turn out okay.
Lovely photos, always a great pleasure to find something new.
What nice photos of a cool butterfly - love how he blends in! I'm just starting to get to know my butterflies. Think I can only identify 3 so far - LOL!
Nice shots.
Leedra, gotta agree with you, it
looks like common wood nymph to me
too. I don't believe I have ever
seen one in MN with that large
pale patch on the forewing. Great
shots. Looking forward to that
photo of the door!

a butterfly known as the Question
Mark.
