Winged Wednesday - 10-21-2026

[Douglas Sherman]

It's my turn to host Winged Wednesday again. It's not easy to substitute for Eric because he is such an outstanding photographer. But here goes. I am going to do butterflies again. I took all of these images at Butterfly Sanctuaries in either Florida or Arizona.

Beautiful bugs Doug - wish I had someplace like this nearby to grab shots like these. In leu of that I do have some nice sedums in my yard that do a nice job of attracting western honeybees and leave me with some nice portraits like this one:

I'm late to the game as I was busy yesterday. I was in Winnipeg over the Thanksgiving Weekend (Yeah I know... We Canadians do it differently!) and we went to a botanical garden that had a butterfly house. I only had my phone so here are a few images from the butterfly house.

Gorgeous work, Doug! Nature certainly knows how to decorate a pair of wings.

The Queen Butterfly has no crown, no throne, and no subjects. Apparently, being a queen is enough.

A Two-tailed Swallowtail enjoying a little nectar. Apparently, two tails are better than one, although neither is much use for wagging.

Luna moth:
A rare beauty that doesn't need moonlight to shine.

The Rosy Maple Moth. Proof that Mother Nature occasionally shops in the candy aisle.
