Northern Pearly-eye (Lethe anthedon) on the Lynn Valley Trail this month. The caterpillars of this Butterfly feed on grasses beneath the canopy of deciduous woodlands. The adult Butterflies don't often visit flowers, instead seeking sap flows, mud puddles and occasionally dung. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #northernpearlyeye #letheanthedon #butterflyphoto #butterflies_of_our_world #lovebutterflies #ontariobutterflies #butterfliesofcanada #woodlandbutterflies #lynnvalleytrail #norfolkwild #blognorfolk #gonorfolk (at Lynn Valley Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRtrTRSJsNQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Eastern Comma (Polygonia comma) on the Lynn Valley Trail, September 2018. There are two forms of this species, with different coloration. The one in the picture is the form that will overwinter as an adult, the summer form has darker hindwings. These Butterflies rarely visit flowers, but instead gains some nutrition from animal dung or tree sap. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #lynnvalleytrail #butterfly🦋 #butterflies🦋 #butterflyphotography #easterncomma #polygonia #polygoniacomma #nymphalidaefamily #insects_of_our_world #insectsofinstagram #butterfliesofinstagram #ontariobutterfly #butterfliesofcanada #naturephotooftheday #naturefact (at Simcoe, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFMUZACALT8/?igshid=10ivao8wps9rh
