Butterfly ID help, please

17 years ago

I'm not near any of my reference books, and I'm not familiar enough with "the usual suspects" even to know what family I should be examining. (Though I was able to identify a Red Admiral that was flitting at the same time!)

Taken yesterday afternoon, just north of Houston - no obvious nectaring going on while I watched, just flittering and occasionally resting.

It is a crescent of some kind.

This is a picture I took of a pearl crescent last year. Is it similar?

It's not that, but you put me on the right (crescent) track. I think I've got a Texas Crescent.

At risk of being silly, what is the code syntax to embed image source directly into my message as above?

Your ID of Texas Crescent looks good.

The code for hotlinking your image into the forum webpage is:

I just cut and paste it from photobucket right into the message section of my post.

At photobucket, under your picture there are three choices. Highlight and copy the middle one, then paste it as you write your post.

I hope I explained that correctly, it took me forever to learn how.
