Subject: Swallowtail Butterfly on Teasel
Park or Reserve: Wetlands at Murrysville Community Park
Photo file name: Action of Extracting Nectar
Date of photo: Summer 2011
Category: Action
Comments: A butterfly's mouth, or proboscis, is thin and straw-like.
When a butterfly wishes to extract nectar from a flower, it unfurls
its proboscis so as to reach the nectar. When the proboscis is not is
use, it gets rolled up tightly so as to be out of the way. When you
are close enough to a butterfly, you can easily see the action of its
proboscis. In this photo, you can see that the proboscis is gathering
nectar.

Any comments? (optional): Soon after last year's awards ceremony,
we visited PV Park. After several warm breaks from the long winter, we
decided to stop and look for signs of spring. However, on our first
trip to the park, it began to snow. I felt Kristen's expression
captured our feelings about the delay in warm weather.

Photo file name): Milkweed
Date of photo: 3.20.2011
Category : Close-ups
Any comments? (optional): Last Spring we went hiking and I saw some
milkweed left over from the previous year. I attempted to photograph
the simplistic beauty of the pod, when the wind began blowing
fiercely. I was frustrated and frantic as I tried to capture the
remaining seeds. When I got home, I realized the wind and my camera
captured a common, insignificant part of nature and created something
beautiful.
