HI Heather! Thank you so much for the pretty Multnomah Falls, OR card. So sweet for you to grant a July wish for AATW as you are preparing to move. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I hope you find some calm amidst the chaos. Take care!
Hi! Here are your pix for BLG ~ Butterfly profile deco July.
I already did my state butterfly last month, the Monarch, state butterfly of Texas, so this time I'm featuring one of my summer favorites, the pipevine swallowtail.
The Pipevine Swallowtail (Battus philenor) of North America and Central America is black with iridescent blue hind wings. They are found in many different habitats, but most commonly in forests. The black or red caterpillars feed on pipevine (Aristolochia) species, making them poisonous as both larvae and adults, while the adults feed on the nectar of a variety of flowers.
This is for the BLG ~ Butterfly profile deco ლ July
The butter fly I am choosing to show is the Riodinidae or metalmarks Butterfly. It is a small group of species that populate mainly areas along southern North America, especially the Southwest, but are seen throughout the USA.
Swamp Metalmark Butterfly
This is a very rare butterfly in Wisconsin and throughout its range. It is listed as endangered, threatened, or of special concern in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan. In Wisconsin, this butterfly is listed as endangered.
Langes’ Metalmark Butterfly
This species is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range. Larvae are known to feed only on buckwheat. The adults may use buckwheat, butterweed and snakeweed
Nais Metalmark
These butterflies are mostly checkered with dark brown and orange-brown
Blue Metalmark Butterfly
This genus comprises of 4 known species. They are among the largest of the Riodinids.

THANKS to all of you for featuring your local butterfly so far!!!!
So you HAVE inspired me to feature the Butterfly of my state, Mississippi !!! ;-)
THE SPICEBUSH SWALLOWTAIL.
They are primarily black and have spoon-shaped tails, with differences between the two sexes. Males are mostly noted for their bright green hind-wings, while females tend to be an iridescent blue. Both may have ivory or orange spots. Their primary habitat tends to be deciduous forests or woody swamps with lots of shade.
I hope you enjoy this swap & thank you for joining!
