RHH's photos with the keyword: insects

This is another version of a photo I already have posted. The photo was taken near Tete Jaune Cache in British Columbia where we were hunting for Lady's Slippers. Both the Hoverfly and the Butterfly were around the flower which I never identified and I managed to get several pictures with them both in focus. The Hoverfly is a Syrphus species which I have not been able to identify further and the butterfly is the Northern Crescent, Phyciodes cocyta.

I believe that these galls are made by an aphid, but perhaps there is someone who knows better. This photo was taken by my seventeen year old son on one of our photo treks.
