Garden centers are wonderful places to observe butterflies. This Great Spangled Fritillary (Speyeria cybele) was photographed at Murray Farms in Penacook, NH on 9-8-05.

Also that day at Murray Farms, our lens caught this Aphrodite
Fritillary (Speyeria aphrodite) posing. |

This shot, and those following, were captured at Springledge Farm in New London, NH, October 6, 2005. This is the famed Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus). |
|
Another view of the Monarch. It surprised us, the difference in the 'inside' coloration of the wings vs. the 'outside'. Notice the prominent black spot on one of the fine lines on each of the
Monarch's hind wings. This is a scent patch that only males feature. |

This butterfly is a Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui). Individuals can vary widely in their colorations.
