I really miss Halloween - My favourite holiday! But they do no celebrate it as much here in Australia although it is picking up it is very sensitive and a lot of people complain that it is American.
Hi Ketchell,
I am wondering if you have received the swap for Group: CPG Quick 2 Blank PC's US as of yet (10/16/16)? If you have received them, would you please rate me? If you have not received them, would you kindly let me know and I will resend them to you immediately? Thank you very much!

This month I chose a butterfly that I see in my driveway :) I found out the little yellow butterfly that see is called the Pink Edged Sulphur. From these swaps I have learned about lots of types of butterflies!! Love it! Hope you enjoy as well!!
MichelleGG
A medium-sized sulphur with a bright pink edge on all four wings. The upperside is bright yellow with a black border, narrower on the hindwing, with the black spot in the forewing cell faint or absent. The spot in the middle of the hindwing above is usually orange. The underside silvery spot is single and pink-rimmed. The female has greatly reduced black borders on the upperside and has a rare white form. Wingspan: 35 to 47 mm.
Range: This is a Boreal Zone species that also occurs in the U.S. in the west to Oregon and in the east from New England south in the Appalachians to Virginia. It is widespread in all provinces and into southern Northwest Territories at Fort Smith and Little Buffalo River.
One of the butterflies prevalent in the State of Pennsylvania (where I live) is the Metalmark or Riodinidae
The Northern Metalmark, or Calephelis borealis, Ranges from Western Connecticut south through west-central Pennsylvania; central Appalachians and Ohio River Valley. Isolated populations in southwest Missouri and eastern Oklahoma. Adults may rest upside down beneath leaves. Males perch on leaves to seek females. Eggs are laid on the underside of host plant leaves, which the caterpillars eat. Half-grown caterpillars hibernate in leaf litter.
The butterfly that I chose is a rather unique looking one. It is called the 88 butterfly (Callicore).
Species in this genus are commonly called “eighty-eights like the related genera Callicore and Perisama, in reference to the characteristic patterns on the hindwing undersides of many. In Diaethria, the pattern consists of black dots surrounded by concentric white and black lines and typically looks like the numbers “88” or “89”.
Callicore is a genus of nymphalid butterfly found in the Neotropical Ecozone. This genus, like some related ones, was formerly lumped together as the paraphyletic Catagramma assemblage.
Species in this genus are commonly called eighty-eights or numberwings like the related genera Diaethria and Perisama, in reference to the characteristic patterns on the hindwing undersides of many. In Callicore, the pattern consists of bluish dots surrounded by black and looks more like "αB" or "8°", though some members of this genus have a completely different arrangement of dots. The forewing undersides vary little between species, being black with one or two broad orange-yellow bands in the basal part and one thin and one very faint yellowish band near the apex.
C. hydarnis is listed as endangered species in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
I hope you found the information and pictures of this unique butterfly interesting.
Swallowtail butterflies are large, colorful butterflies in the family Papilionidae, and include over 550 species. Though the majority are tropical, members of the family inhabit every continent except Antarctica.
