This spring and summer I've been paying more attention to non-bird animals that I come across, particularly butterflies and dragonflies. It's nice to be able to see things that are new to me and that I can't identify at local spots. A couple of recent shots:
 |
| Baltimore Checkerspot, a life butterfly that I saw this morning at Daniel Webster Audubon in Marshfield, MA |
 |
| Another Baltimore |
 |
| European Skipper, seen on the Greenwich-Stamford Summer Bird Count |
 |
| Question Mark at the Marshlands Conservancy |
 |
| American Copper at Daniel Webster Audubon |
 |
| Blue Dasher at Nuclear Lake in Pawling, NY |
 |
| Lancet Clubtail, also from Nuclear Lake |
 |
| Calico Pennant, same location as above |
 |
| Female Widow Skimmer, also Nuclear Lake |
 |
| Female Common Whitetail, Marshlands |
 |
| Harlequin Darner, Daniel Webster |
 |
| And a damselfly, an Eastern Forktail at Daniel Webster |
