MORE DAY 7, CON’T: So I ran to the bunkhouse to get a real camera. After futzing with the obtuse manual to get the right settings, failing, resorting to watching a how-to-time-lapse-with-an-R6 video, and finding a better tripod, I dashed back out. It couldn’t have been more than 30 minutes. But I was too late. Behold the newly-minted Chrys IV, fresh and green and gold as anything, the one that got away. Next time I’m just gonna sit and watch. #butterflies

Even if the path forward is not clear.
We can often can still find away to inch forward.
Nouveau décor concept pour le passage d'un cinématique de mon jeu. Dessiné sur Artrage sur 2 jours avec pas mal de pauses j'ai vraiment travaillé par petites touches et séances de prises de recul. #artrage #jeuvideo #indiegame #decor #background #indieexpo #lamp #onirique #poétique #féerique #papillons #butterflies #butterfly #forêt #Dadd #Teltok #Nature #enfantin #Dream
DAY 7: New J-hanger just dropped! (That’s right, I caved and watched a butterfly nerd video and these guys are called “J-hangers”). This brings the total up to 4. I have never known this run of fence to be such a hotbed of monarch pupativity. #Butterflies
#Butterfly populations declining rapidly in #US with 22% disappearing in 2 decades
A comprehensive study found 22% of #butterflies in #UnitedStates disappeared between 2000 and 2020... The researchers behind the Science study used data from more than 12.6 million butterflies spanning 342 individual species, drawing from 76,000 surveys across 35 nationwide monitoring programs. Funded by the #USGS, the study was the first to integrate such a vast dataset, its authors said.

On the path to Greenside Reservoir. Lots of butterfly around. Also a weasel just to the side of the path, on hind legs, upright looking at us, disappeared down a vole tunnel in the grass. #butterflies #nature
A poem for the butterflies whom attention is not often given to. Enjoy :)
The Cabbage White butterfly is a species that thrives in many habitats, they are a familiar sight in the UK, fluttering in abundance during late spring and summer.

In het begin moeite om gedachten los te laten, maar gaandeweg ging dat beter. 15km op de teller, door bos en buitengebied met heerlijk lenteweer. 8 verschillende vlinders gespot onderweg waaronder de kleine vuurvlinder
It's been a while...
Forgot to switch off of B&W JPG mode when I started hunting for some bug shots, and ended up getting a photo I really liked, of a Zebra Swallowtail no less, on a Dandelion.
DAY 5c) Chrys III is nearly there! The case is starting to get transparent and you can sort of make out wings in there. #butterflies
DAY 5b) Chrys II, more dark blotches than OG so I assume this one started sooner. #butterflies
