This beautiful Red-spotted Purple is rather large with a wing span of approximately 3-3.5 inches. The only way you can tell males from females is by their size because they both look alike. Females are larger than the males.

Thanks @karbon! Welcome back from your trip and thanks for your entry! : )
Great shots :-)https://steemit.com/insectpub/@manorvillemike/tomato-hornworm#@whatisnew/pwe3kk
Thanks Mike! How are you feeling?
Good with the operation.. Almost 100% but now I have lime disease symtems... Went to urgent care they took blood to test for tick diseases. But say they won't get results back in 7 to 10 days.
Good news about your operation but terrible news about your lyme disease symptoms. I have it but have been in remission for years, thank goodness. Everybody has different symptoms but no matter the severity, it is awful and I pray that you don't have it. I do remember reading many of your posts saying how many ticks you pulled of of yourself. Keep me posted Mike.
Once I get the antibiotics I will be my normal dopey self....:-)
Hi @manorvillemike! Thanks for your entry. : )
