Excepting the sudden profusion of Swallowtails this spring, the past few seasons have been lean ones for butterflies. But this season, I happened upon a couple I haven't seen before.
This first one is a "rescue" from the middle of The Broads Thursday. He's bright orange, his wings have a large transparent area -- the antenna tells me it's a moth. He spent the night in my boat, and disappeared when it got dark, like moths are wont to do.
The second appeared one morning on my porch -- stayed a couple of days, then disappeared. Google didn't return anything on the "Ragged Wing" that looks like the second attachment. I didn't try "
raggledy-taggledy-wing"...
BTW: the title "
Butterflies Over Winnipesaukee" has nothing to do with this Fourth of July weekend on the lake.
