Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Hamadryas feronia

This is one of the very first butterflies to emerge this year in the Butterfly House at the Calgary Zoo. I hadn't seen this species before. Thanks, bayucca, for the ID - Hamadryas feronia / Variable Cracker.

I think, but am not sure, that this is a Variable Cracker (Hamadryas feronia), photographed on a water-stained window in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo on May 17th. Daren't spend any more time trying to confirm the ID - just so much I need to do, including starting to get my place ready for having all my heating ducts vacuumed out and my central heating furnace and water heater replaced on 3rd and 4th January - and then all the windows, ha. Need to squeeze a very simple Christmas in there, too : )
