My Butterfly Expedition Day !!

in #butterflyday5 years ago

Today i figured i would combine my #wednesdaywalk and #butterfly day together there was a park i visited a while back called Chatuchak Park over the other side of Bangkok city best accessible by BTS Skytrain and you more a less get dropped of at the front gate of this park it's just a walk down the stairs and your in the park that easy.

The main reason i decided to take my walk in Chatuchak Park today was not only that the park is a beautiful park to walk around and admired all the beautiful nature but also because it has a Butterfly section in the park where all the butterflies seem to meet up for some reason it must be the flavor of these particular flowers in this section of the park that they all like and that's great because you can see many species in this one area.

I do think this next two butterflies are Gossamer Winged butterflies belonging to the Lycaenidae family which is the second largest family of butterflies with over 6,000 species worldwide whose members are also called all called Gossamer Winged butterflies.

This i do think it is called the Pieris Brassicae the large white butterfly also known as the Cabbage butterfly mainly found throughout Europe, North Africa and Asia.

Metalmark Butterflies belong to the Riodinidae family , the common name "Metalmarks" refers to the small metallic looking spots commonly found on their wings. This one wouldn't stand still for me he kept flapping around is why the blur look...lol.

This beauty landed on my table as i was having something to eat i quickly pull the tiger on my camera before he took of as we all know it is never a easy take trying to photograph butterflies.

After walking around the beautiful butterfly section of the park for a hour or so admiring all the butterflies and trying to do my best in photographing as many as i could i made my way back to the the BTS Skytrain as i had to meet up with a friend.

It was a good 3 km walk around the Chatuchak Park and that's only covering a small section of this huge park as i was making my way back to the station i see this very unusual Beetle on this brick wall just chilling out he wasn't in any hurry to go anywhere got a good shot of him and that made my day it was a bonus for me to see this beautiful pinkish , reddish Beetle never seen one like this before and i couldn't tell you what family his from but i certainly loved his texture and color.
