ID Help

Not sure what kind of butterfly this is.

Help!

Well, I'll take an educated guess. It appears to be a white variation of the California White Dogface butterfly.
It is difficult to tell from the odd angle of view. Most have some degree of yellow.
This one appears to be somewhat weathered.
Hopefully one of other Lepidopterists will join in for help.

Any clue what this is?

Whether it is a gopher or mole, there is a commercial trap that is fast,easy to use. and is almost 100% effective.

This one really works. It takes a little patient to find the right spot but then it is a done deal.
You want to initially get the starter kit with one trap and the probe. You can get additional traps if needed.
If you have any questions about this trap, call them, they are happy to help.

Nice shots.

First one is most probably a Variegated Fritillary.
The other two are definitely Monarchs.

My favourite Bee

SX2002 wrote:

The beautiful Blue Banded Bee. An Australian Native and also a solitary species, they live alone in holes in walls, fences and the ground. They are helpful little guys (about 2/3rds the size of a European Honey Bee) and are responsible for pollinating a large amount of Australia's crops and fruit.
I think this one is a Male, males have 5 stripes and females 4.

Outstanding shot.

Just recently caught a rerun from the PBS "Nature" Series that I am sure many of you will enjoy.
Here is one link to it. If this one does not work for you, hopefully you can track down another.
