Happy is anthropomorphizing the animal kingdom but all the butterflies and insects seemed quite happy today. Perhaps attributing to the somewhat cooler, breezy weather. Or the feeding frenzy. With tic weeds being about the only flower in profusion to feed on, there were plenty of fritillaries, monarchs, zebras, swallowtails,skippers and buckeyes with a few sulphurs out today. In addition, plenty of wasps and moths to round out the frenzy.
Used exclusively the 18-200 with the film canister diffuser on the flash on the D3100.
It allows a full-frame but not at such a close range to spook the insects. Walked the three mile perimeter. Saw two snakes in addition, along with two mantis, one eating upon a monarch.
