eyeguy 54 Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 This is a fairly rare aberration of Vanessa cardui caused by cool temperature during chrysalis development. I put the info in another thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put the info in another thread. Awesome! a new naturalist in the making; impressed with your research eyeguy64. Actually "aberrations" can occur do to several reasons, but very likely this was environmental. Yep, caused by a sudden change in temp. but since there are changes in wing pattern coloration and not much darkening overall..... It was an increase in temp, rather then a decrease, that caused this change from normal. Dark variations always occur when there is an extreme drop in temp. during metamorphosis. Hey buddy, your never to old to learn. GOOD JOB! Here's another form of "aberration", with Monarch spots I thought you'd find interesting....

eyeguy 54 Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 I got the info from a pro on a butterfly site. You will have to take up the hot cold with him. I just take pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
