Enjoy some very close-up slow motion footage of these amazing orange, black and silver butterflies, as they visit the flowers of Lantana bushes. This footage was filmed inside the Los Angeles Zoo, on ornamental plants along one of the pathways. The adult butterflies love to feed on the nectar-rich flowers of Lantana, while the caterpillars eat the leaves of Passion Vine. These scenes were filmed with a hand-held Casio EX-F1 high speed camera, at 300fps. The footage was rendered at 15fps, resulting in a 20x slow-down from realtime speed, and upscaled to 720p HD to help preserve the resolution after multiple trips through video compression. The music is a custom mix of "Bio" from the "Silicon Landscape" CD by Technician (yours truly). I hope you enjoy the show!

Since 1992, Monarch Watch has led a nationwide study of the spectacular fall migration of monarch butterflies from the United States to Mexico. Monarch Watch and Jayhawk Audubon Society sponsored monarch butterfly tagging for the public at the Baker University Wetlands on Sept. 18, 2010. The groups provided tags, nets and instructions in how to net and tag monarchs. More than 600 people tagged 746 butterflies. Watch Anne Ryan of Monarch Watch describe the annual event's purpose and see photos of monarchs from the Monarch Watch open house on Sept. 11, 2010.

The culmination of 2 years-worth of rearing and filming, this collection of scenes from the Sara Orange-Tip (Anthocaris Sara) Butterfly's life cycle has finally been released! This beautiful white, orange, and black butterfly is found throughout the western United States, and is one of the first butterflies to emerge in spring. It is easily mistaken for the more common Cabbage White Butterflies and other similar species unless one is able to get close enough to see the bright orange wingtips. As Winter ends and the days slowly begin to warm, these butterflies begin emerging from their long winter sleep as pupae, and start looking for mates. The females seek out plants in the Mustard family and lay their eggs on the plant's stems. After a week or so, the eggs develop and hatch, after which the tiny larvae, not much longer than 1/8" eat their eggshells (shown here in time lapse) for some extra protien to start the caterpillar phase of their lives.. Over the next few weeks the caterpillar grows to maturity, eating mostly the plant's flower heads and seed capsules. At some point late in the caterpillar's life, it makes a "decision" based on environmental conditions, whether or not to develop immediately into an adult butterfly, or hibernate (known as "diapause") as a chrysalis (pupa) for the winter. It then searches for a suitable spot on a plant stem straps itself in using a silken threads and pad that it spins from glads near its mouth, where it then pupates (also shown ...

One day while hiking in Bouquet Canyon, CA, I ran across an exceptionally friendly male Lorquin's Admiral... He was avidly guarding and patrolling his territory in this little alcove of Willow trees, but didn't seem to mind me watching and filming him. On a whim I decided to try picking him up, which he allowed - especially after tasting the light layer of sweat on my finger. Butterflies are known for visiting unusual places to drink water and take in natural salts and minerals, which might be otherwise lacking in their diet. In this case, the salts came right to him and he seemed happy to enjoy the attention while he lapped it up! The Lorquin's Admiral Butterfly (Limenitis lorquini) was named after Pierre Lorquin, a French naturalist who came to California during the gold rush of the mid 1800's. It's a fairly common butterfly in canyon bottoms, wherever it's Willow caterpillar host plant grows abundantly. The larvae are not so easy to find and I found that it was easier to get a female to lay eggs than it was to locate caterpillars in the wilderness! Here, you can see the entire rearing project, from eggs to adult butterfly: lepidoptera.jcmdi.com Cameras used: Casio EX-F1 for slow motion, and Canon HF100 for 1080p HD The music is the title track from the "Digital Dreaming" CD by Technician (yours truly), mixed in with natural sounds from the Bouquet Canyon area. Thanks so much for watching and reading! :-)

These large tropical butterflies were named for their bird-like wing shape, large size, and similarity to small birds in flight. Many of these species are quite rare and protected by international wildlife laws. Special permits (CITES) are required to bring them into the USA. Birdwings are found primarily in the South Pacific region, including nothern Australia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, SouthEast Asia, etc. and include the largest of all known butterflies - the female Queen Alexandra's Birdwing, which can reach up to a 12-inch wingspan!

BUTTERFLY ZONE3 (butterflies) The three (3) butterflies in butterfly zone3 were the caterpillars marked with red face paint in caterpillar zone3 that chose the Hollyhock plant diet rather than the Pink Pewter Nettle plant diet. There were very few observations and no intentional video recordings of the butterflies' diet preferences or choices in butterfly zone3; but remarkably ongoing surveillance video was shot of all the butterfly subjects over a period of about 20 minutes landing on and feeding from the Hollyhock plant influenced sugar water rather than the Pink Pewter Nettle plant influenced sugar water feeder. To reiterate, this is the same dietary choice all three butterfly subjects definitively made as caterpillars. In the 'Butterfly Study' - we observed caterpillars in their terrestrial state demonstrating a distinct dietary choice. Then while occupying a completely different state of reality as celestial butterflies a majority of the subjects demonstrated the same affinity for the same dietary choice as they did caterpillars. Nothing definitive can be said about what happens to a caterpillar's consciousness (if one even exists) during the chrysalis stage. However if nature gives us what we need to reflect upon for a greater understanding of ourselves we can see there are two different states of reality for supposedly the same Bio-Energy ...... that is the Bio-Energy of the caterpillar and butterfly. And if we can observe the same choices between their two states ...

Monarch butterflies navigate via internal compass. Seen most often in North America, the beautiful winged insects have long fascinated scientists with their migratory abilities as they travel up to 3000 miles to Michoacán, Central Mexico for the winter and make a northward return journey in spring. Neurobiologists at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in the USA have discovered that these amazing insects have inbuilt biological compasses, which are not only sensitive to light but can also sense the direction of the Earth's magnetic field. Their most recent study found that the Monarch butterflies seem to primarily use the sun to navigate, with the magnetic compass serving as a backup system on cloudy or overcast days. Furthermore, their magnetic directional guides are activated by certain wavelengths of ultraviolet and blue light, which peak during summer and signal to the butterflies that it is time for southward bound flight. What a remarkable and precise ability! Many thanks, University of Massachusetts scientists, for these fascinating insights. May the world of animal intelligence inspire us toward ever greater appreciation and respect for the wondrous butterflies and other myriad creations of nature.

Keweenaw Bay Indian Community (KBIC) teens built butterfly houses during the first year of the Zaagkii Project. The teens are part of the KBIC Summer Youth Program. Working alongside members of several Ojibwa tribes, at-risk teens with the US Forest Service-sponsored Zaagkii Wings and Seeds Project in Michigan's Upper Peninsula will continue protecting pollinators during 2010 by helping to build the first-ever native species plants greenhouse on an American Indian reservation and hope to trace the Mexico Monarch migration. Teens from Marquette, MI planted/distributed over 26000 native plants seeds, helped transplant hundreds of native plant seedlings, hiked through remote forests with Zaagkii Project Native American college interns to learn importance and uses for native species plants, and have built and painted 36 mason bee houses and 18 butterfly houses with one of each placed by the USFS in The Peoples Garden at US Department of Agriculture Headquarters, National Mall, Washington, DC. The Zaagkii Project is sponsored by the nonprofit Cedar Tree Institute, Keweenaw Bay Indian Community (KBIC), the United States Forest Service (USFS) and Marquette County Juvenile Court. The at-risk teens put in 1786 hours of community service working on the Zaagkii Project. In 2010, the youths, KBIC and USFS will build a native plants greenhouse near the shores of Lake Superior, the first greenhouse of its kind on tribal property in US KBIC "is happy to be partnering with the Cedar Tree ...
