I DID enjoy your butterfly photos, Tina...and not only that, your Haiku, as well;-) I used to love writing poetry but seem to have lost my spark for it these days. Every now and then I get inspired. Haiku's are supposed to rhyme, so no problem there! I think the main idea is to convey some interaction within nature...and you've certainly done that with this Haiku!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-19771225466231049992009-11-17T13:25:20.468-06:002009-11-17T13:25:20.468-06:00Kathleen, Thank you.

I have looked at every page (2 times) in my book of Butterflies that Skeeter sent me (all 250 pages) and cannot find one like the black one you have shown us. The only one that is close to it is the Black Swallowtail (Papilio Polyxenes).

I would have guessed the first photo is a Gulf Fritillary~~since you asked~~and on the verbena I love so much! I'm the last person in the world to judge poetry so your attempt is to be congratulated.
