[edit]Butterfly and flower ID
[edit]
Unfortunately I can't put this in any useful categories except for the town where I took it, since I don't have a clue about butterfly or flower classifications. Taken on 25 August 2018 in Kilmarnock, Virginia; any ideas? Thank you. Nyttend (talk) 13:01, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
Ah, never mind on the butterfly; I happened onto the Papilio glaucus article. But can you identify the flower? Thank you. Nyttend (talk) 13:03, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree with zinnia. The flower, leaf arrangement and the bud look right. Richard Avery (talk) 07:18, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
- The Zinnia shown in this picture, I would say closely resembles the one the butterfly is on. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 12:15, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
- Category for Zinnia now added. Thanks for the help! Nyttend (talk) 00:47, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
