Today In The Garden....................

Hi all, it's been some time since my last post, for my faithful point-and- shoot is no more. :-(  It'll take some time to have a new toy. I'm doing a bit of wildlife gardening till then. Here are some critters that I captured in the garden today with a cam a friend of mine lent me. I've mot identified some of them, and let you know if I do.  I'll be grateful if you could help me there too.

Yellow-Billed Babblers(Turdoides affinis)

  Three-stripped Palm squirrel

 

Variable Flutterer Dragonfy

 Chocolate Soldier butterfly

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Chocolate Soldier

I was in doubt about what this butterfly really was, for it looks a little darker than the Chocolate Soldier(Junonia iphita) that  I videoed a while ago. So when I uploaded this photo here, my friend Amila confirmed the identification. Thank you Amila!

Chocolate Soldier (Junonia iphita) Butterfly In My Garden

Spring is giving way to summer and there are lots of butterflies fluttering around. I see a significant increase in their populations this year. Here is a video of a Chocolate Soldier Junonia iphita my garden. I'll try to get the other kinds on video too. There is a huge variety of them, some are so unbelievably vivid in color.
