Monday's Critters
Taken up at Kolwan, Maharashtra with the Uniden digicam and using the macro mode.
Do pay a visit to BOZO and hop over to TOO for the Canine Chronicles.
UPDATE ; folk are showing interest in the butterfly - here are the details from Wiki;
Danaus chrysippus, also known as the Plain Tiger or African Monarch, is a common butterfly which is widespread in Asia and Africa. It belongs to the Danainae ("Milkweed butterflies") subfamily of the brush-footed butterfly family, Nymphalidae. It is a medium-sized, non-edible butterfly, which is mimicked by multiple species.

ReplyDeleteooops, my update cut and paste wasn't too hot... but still the keen can get the basics!
Bill - the wing span of this was over 3 inches! Quite the beauty.
Joanne - although wings open it IS a butterfly - it was enjoying the winter sun!
Thanks both for your comments - it is lovely to know folk are truly peeking!!!
