Cladonia

Cladonia (cup lichen) is a genus of moss-like lichens in the family Cladoniaceae. These very tiny cups were photographed on 20th August in the forest at the west end of Bragg Creek Provincial Park. This is an enlarged close-up image. Usually, my photos of these come out very blurry, but finally I have one that is sharp enough : )

Like a cardboard cut-out

Oops, not in time to say that this is just a small butterfly perched on my finger, taken using macro setting on my camera. Sorry, it does look huge : ) Not completely sure of the ID, other than that it is an Anglewing, maybe a Gray or a Green Comma? If it is a Gray Comma, then the wingspan is only 40-50 mm. If it's a Green Comma, wingspan is 45-55 mm. This one landed on a friend's jeans and then climbed on to another friend's finger and then finally came on to my own finger. Seen a couple of days ago at the west end of Bragg Creek Provincial Park.
