The Trouble With Orchids!!
Posted: Sun Jun 29, 2014 3:50 pm
I came across this fresh, although with slightly damaged hindwings, Chalkhill Blue today. He was enjoying the numerous Pyramidal Orchids going from one to another. As several of us have seen, butterflies that nectar on these often end up with pollen sacs attached to their proboscis. This was the case here as the unfortunate creature tries to get rid of these sacs.
