Bye-bye Flutterbyes ...<br />
By Sally Ramsdell, 1941–2011<br />
Editor’s Note: The following article is the last column<br />
that was submitted to <strong>All</strong> <strong>Things</strong> <strong>Country</strong> from Sally,<br />
who lost her fight with cancer on August 22, 2011. <strong>This</strong><br />
was published in the September 2010 edition and we<br />
are privileged to run it again in her honor.<br />
D id<br />
you notice the abundance of butterflies<br />
this summer? “Flying flowers” seemed to be<br />
unusually numerous this year, so I decided it<br />
was time to observe them more carefully, find their<br />
names, photograph them, and try to learn more about<br />
them. Their beauty overcame my dislike for most insects<br />
and piqued my curiosity.<br />
I now can identify<br />
more than twenty species<br />
observed during the past<br />
few months on my farm.<br />
Swallowtails are perhaps<br />
the most eye-catching,<br />
as they are larger than<br />
most other butterflies and<br />
moths and their colorful<br />
patterns draw one’s attention.<br />
Most are primarily<br />
yellow or black, though<br />
eastern tiger swallowtails<br />
(at least the females) can<br />
be either color. How’s that<br />
for confusing the amateur<br />
butterfly-watcher right<br />
from the outset! <strong>All</strong> males<br />
and most females are yellow<br />
with characteristics<br />
black stripes, but some<br />
females are of the “dark<br />
form” and resemble other<br />
swallowtail species such as the spicebush and pipevine<br />
that are mostly black. Because of their large size,<br />
most have to flutter their wings constantly to support<br />
themselves while seeking nectar from blossoms.<br />
Swallowtails have smaller designs on the hindwings<br />
in blue and orange, as well as the narrow trailing<br />
appendages that give them their name. If you are<br />
looking for a great piece of trivia to impress someone,<br />
casually mention that the spicebush swallowtail can<br />
be differentiated from the pipevine by its double row<br />
of orange lunules [moonspots] on its hindwings rather<br />
than a single row.<br />
What appears at first glance to be a dark swallowtail<br />
without the tails is probably a red-spotted purple.<br />
It is said that their coloration mimics the swallowtails<br />
as a protection from predators that know swallowtails<br />
do not make a tasty meal. These gregarious<br />
I saw a flock of six feasting on manure one evening.<br />
No accounting for taste; I think I would stick to sipping<br />
nectar.<br />
If you noticed flashy-looking, good-sized orange<br />
and butterflies (particularly in June and July), they<br />
were probably great spangled fritillaries. They especially<br />
liked the sweet nectar of Itea and Buddleia in<br />
my yard. “Butterfly bush” is an appropriate name for<br />
the latter shrub. The dappled underwings of the GSF<br />
have a slivery sheen—hence the name.<br />
The monarch is the most commonly recognized<br />
orange butterfly. Unfortunately, it is becoming less<br />
common due to loss of<br />
habitat where it winters<br />
in Mexico. It was late<br />
September before I saw<br />
one this year. Another<br />
bit of trivia: You can<br />
identify a male monarch<br />
by a black dot in the<br />
pattern of its forewing;<br />
females lack this mark.<br />
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, one of the most eye-catching of the<br />
Swallowtail variety.<br />

Until recently I thought<br />
of commas and question<br />
marks as describing<br />
punctuation symbols<br />
only. Surprise! There are<br />
medium-sized butterflies,<br />
orange and brown<br />
above and gray-brown<br />
below, that are named<br />
for the shapes of their<br />
respective small white<br />
markings observable<br />
only when the wings are<br />
folded. Without looking closely, you would never see<br />
them and be able to identify them.<br />
Have you ever noticed a butterfly with an appendage<br />
like an anteater? It is called a “snout.” The<br />
schnozz, relative to its tiny size, would eclipse that of<br />
a famous comedian of yesteryear nicknamed for his<br />
substantial proboscis.<br />
Not all butterflies are as colorful or eyecatching<br />
as those previously mentioned. Buckeyes are wellnamed<br />
for their eyespots. “Duskywings” are appropriately<br />
drab to warrant their name and are less likely<br />
to be noticed by predators or budding lepidopterists.<br />
The variety of these critters which spend at least parts<br />
of their lives in Kentucky is amazing. Learning about<br />
them has certainly enriched my enjoyment of life.<br />
You will be missed dearly.<br />
34 butterflies were particularly abundant in September.<br />
