Common Sargeant

Common Sargeant
A photo from my archives, taken on 10 May 2010 in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo. The Common Sergeant (Athyma perius) is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in South Asia and Southeast Asia. As always, ID is not 100% certain.

Today, 29 November 2014, the sun is trying its best to come out. Everywhere looks so beautiful in the sunshine, after several more inches of snow fell yesterday and overnight. My car is still at the garage, having a set of winter tires put on. This was expected to be finished yesterday, but I haven't heard anything further. Even if my vehicle had been ready to pick up yesterday late afternoon/evening, I wouldn't have gone, as the weather was awful and the roads treacherous. The temperature is -22C (-8CF) with a windchill of -31C (-24F). Stay warm, everyone!
