Comma butterflies (Polygonia c-album) out in numbers today in The Scottish Wildlife Trusts' Bawsinch and Duddingston Nature Reserve, Edinburgh. This one enjoying the warmth of the sun.
Nectaring on blossom.
Beautiful cryptic underwings allow them to hide in plain sight and effectively disappear in the leaf litter.
This one showing why it's called a Comma.

Now is a *great* time in the US to reach out to your senators and representatives if you have them. Make a ruckus to your state/territory reps, too. Make some noise at the orchardist and farmer meetings. #bees #pollinators #science

Dandelions growing alongside the driveway
A bee is getting nectar from a dandelion
Please don’t pull or spray Dandelions! They are a lifeline for #pollinators on the brink, acting as a crucial early-spring food source when few other flowers are blooming. They provide essential nectar and pollen (protein) that help #bees emerge from winter.

Are you ready for beautiful #bees? Do you have blooms ready to feed them? Have you thought about making space for habitat with #KillYourLawn to create bare earth for ground nesters & leaving your previous year stems & leaves for cavity nesters? #pollinators #NoSpray #invertebrates #gardening 🌱
The opposite of beauty is not ugliness. It is harm.
That is a paraphrase from an interview I did a few years ago with environmental artist Kinji Akagawa.
We have to emphasize the beauty of today, and work to eliminate its opposite.

A small dusty brown moth, I believe, gathering nectar on the orange zinnia in my garden last summer. Its delicate feet are standing on the centre of the zinnia's yellow star-shaped disk florets that resembles a crown. The moth's eye and antennaes as well as the small body are captured in this photo quite nicely.
A dusty visitor on a brilliant throne.🦋👑

This macro shot is really rich in texture and contrast. At the center, tightly packed, overlapping bracts form a dense rosette of deep reddish-bronze to dark mahogany leaves, their surfaces dimpled by a clearly visible network of recessed veins that creates a wrinkled pattern, a coloration characteristic of the uppermost young leaves, which are strongly tinged purple-red. From these dark leaf axils, tubular, two-lipped flowers emerge in whorls, their vivid, saturated pink almost vibrant against the sombre foliage; the upper lip forms a small hood while the lower lip splits into rounded lobes. Completing the scene, every surface, leaves, bracts, and stem alike, is densely covered in fine, soft white trichomes, each tiny hair catching a bead of moisture from recent rain or dew. This pubescence lends the whole plant a silvery shimmer and velvety texture, making the contrast between the bright pink flowers and the dark, furry foliage all the more interesting at this scale.
