Marj's Home Page Photos of butterflies in my local area. Do you have a comment? Write me Swallowtails - showy and beautiful, nearly always on the fly, soaring at a speed impossible to chase, rarely settling, but when they do, a pleasure to photograph. Whites and Sulphurs - looking over the meadow they are everywhere, too easy to ignore them. Gossamer wings - my personal favorites, tiny jewels of detail and perfection, the goals of my every treasure hunt. Brush-foots - my first butterfly photo, a Milbert's Tortoiseshell, how very surprising. Spread-wing Skippers - two kinds, the ones that are easy to identify, and then the duskywings, I shall wait until next year to work on them. Grass Skippers - a study in frustration, so similar, always a relief to find the unambiguous one.
