Question Mark Butterfly

Polygonia Interrogationis

 The upper side of the wings is quite colorful and noticable.  It is a North American Nymphalid butterfly.  It lives in woodlands and open areas.  Wingspan can be 1.8" to 3".

Question Mark Butterfly

The name is derived from the silver colored shape on the bottom of the rear wings.  You can see it clearly in this shot.  It is a curved line and a dot resembling the punctuation mark by the same name.

On a personal note, Carol had an Ultra sound of her arms and legs, looking for blood clots and an Echo of her heart.  She will have a breathing eval in PM.  

Thanks to Gorman Nature Center for the opportunity to capture these images.

Wulfenite III

Previously, I showed you this image of Wulfenite.  Wulfenite is an ore of lead and a source of molybdenum.  It can be yellow, orange, red and sometimes brown.  It is a source of molybdenum which is used in jet engine compressor blades.

This image was captured using a Sigma 180mm Macro lens with a Mamya 50mm mounted in reverse as a closeup filter.  I have revisited these samples with a different camera setup recently.

 There is no glass inside the tube.  The objective has the glass lenses.

I will show the yield from this setup next time. 

On a personal note, my wife Carol is very sick and was at Ohio Health Mansfield from January 3 until January 12.  She was transported to the Cleveland Clinic as of last night.  We are all hoping that she will have a speedy recovery and return to us soon.
