A Pair of Common Yellow Grass Butterflies (Photos)

They Really Do Fly United

 

 

We spotted them flying in the northern area of Okinawa.

There's supposedly, a place up there, where you can see whales jumping in the ocean.

Shooting a camera from land, is lots easier, than from a whale-watching boat.

But, it was so cloudy, over the ocean, you couldn't have seen whales, anyway.

When these characters, stopped in a sunny spot, I shot them for you.

My good friend, Doc, said they were mating.

And, gave me the idea for my subtitle.

Backing off a bit to give them some privacy, a few dozen photos were made.

It beats watching airline commercials.  Doesn't it ?

This Common Grass Yellow (Eurema hecabe) butterfly photo was taken February 15, 2013.

Searching on Butterflies of Japan, it only took a few minutes to get an identification.

It's always a good idea to take the research a bit further.

So, I looked over on Wikipedia and said  "Naa".

Then, what I did was start Googling "Eurema hecabe" until I found something worth sharing.

The site, I liked best, had great photography and, I thought, the best information.

They said females of this species are more discreet than males.

Well, I'll drink to that !
