[jcmegabyte]

[oOstonedOo]

[jcmegabyte]

Sorry to hear your city is lacking a wide range of butterflies, but I'm glad I can bring you a selection of the ones from my area to see instead! Thanks for the view and nice comment =)

[Peiselkopp]

[jcmegabyte]

Glad you enjoyed my vid and music! Thanks so much for stopping by :-)

[combatvetlawstudent]

most awesome!

[jcmegabyte]

Glad you enjoyed this one - I had hoped to get some more footage this year, but it was very dry and conditions weren't so good.. maybe wetter and better next year! :-)

[combatvetlawstudent]

lovely!

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks so much for watching - glad you enjoyed! :-)

[thenoize]

Wow.... amazing butterflies ! Love it :o)

[jcmegabyte]

We really do have some nice species here - and quite a lot of them. I hope to eventually gather enough HD footage for a really nice Hi-Def show. Thanks for stopping by :-)

[thenoize]

@jcmegabyte I'll look forward to seeing it!

[ZALIGANITO]

yes i knew there were mourning cloak butterflies in california!

thank you nice video

[jcmegabyte]

Mourning Cloaks were one of the first species I reared here in Southern CA... I've heard many people say they are pretty common, and while I do see the adutls flying around sometimes, I have only found the larvae once. Definitely a cool bug :-)

[arpeggio1358]

Thank you so much for posting. You make exquisite videos.

[jcmegabyte]

So glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the view and great comment - I hope you have a great week!  =)

[arpeggio1358]

@jcmegabyte You have a good week, too! You really have a wonderful talent!

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks so much - glad you enjoyed! :-)

[NewOrleansWoman]

this is so pretty Chris !

[jcmegabyte]

I hope to do a LOT more filming this season in the local mountains and deserts - hopefully we'll get more rain this spring so it will be a good season! :-)

[jcmegabyte]

I can think of at least three species that are likely to be found in both Italy and the US. There are also many different species which are closely related and look very similar. It's interesting to study them all :-)

[cbcguide]

Fantastic!

I'm looking for high quality HD nature videos, to use in DVDs I plan to produce, as a small local business project.

Are you interested in selling any of your videos, with royalty-free rights? I think you could get paid well from Ebay bidders.

[jcmegabyte]

Actually, I do offer my clips for license as royalty-free stock footage. I have a website and dedicated YouTube channel (JCMDIstockfootage) just for that.

I'm also open to collaborative and specialty projects, so let me know if you have ideas. :-)

eBay would be a good outlet if they didn't have so many fees. I wouldn't mind paying a small percentage of sales, but they currently have charges even if the items don't sell. A bit too much overhead.

Anyway, have a great week! :-)

[NewOrleansWoman]

soooo pretty !!!!

[jcmegabyte]

We've got some nice ones. I hope you watched in HQ/HD... the "standard" video really got grainy after YT processing. :-)

[NewOrleansWoman]

Hi ! I'm showing my husband some of your work !  He's impressed :-)

[jcmegabyte]

Cool! Well, there's a wide variety to choose from - so there should be something for everyone! Does he have a YT account? Time to get him hooked! XD

[Owleyes888]

Million stars,

Man, you're a genious!

[jcmegabyte]

So glad you enjoyed! Thanks a bunch for watching and the cool comment :-)

[Owleyes888]

You're very welcome! There's magic in this art

Keep the good work, we all appreciate seeing real art especially nowadays where people don't learn how to see. You got eyes, Congrats!!!!

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks for checking it out! :-)

[Intersounds]

Absolutely wonderful !  Your videos are awesome, well done, keep up the good work!! 5*- Bob

[jcmegabyte]

Will do! Thanks so much for stopping by :-)

[letufi]

very beautiful !!

I intend to palnt native trees and flowers so I can have lot of butterflies and birds-

thanks so much for the post

beautiful ! *****

[jcmegabyte]

If you can learn all the buttefly species in your area, and more importantly - what host plants their caterpillars use, you can really attract a lot of them! With the food plants in your garden - you will have your own populations of butterflies in addition to those that come arond from other places. :-)

[MyYuToobAccount]

drawing butterflies with new imaginative patterns was one of my fav. hobby when I was in elementary school

[jcmegabyte]

That could be a cool hobby for later in life, too. :-)

[maninwhitedress]

beautiful butterflies, serenity now.

[artgirlsreality]

wow this song is dreamy. ANd the butterflies are beautiful! with your photos I feel like I am flying too. :D my only complaint is it not longer. :(

[musumeci2008]

Beautiful, especially in this format.

I love the music too.

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks so much! I am very much liking the widescreen format as well. I read somewhere on YT that the 720p HD is not yet available overseas - do you get the "Watch in HD" link with 720p (&fmt=22) HD HiRes playback there in France?

[jcmegabyte]

The HD really makes the show, doesn't it? :-) So glad you enjoyed - and thanks so much for the kind words about my music as well! =D

[maarakailet1]

Oh! So pretty! Did you get all of these from the same area?

[jcmegabyte]

Hi Maara! These butterlies were all filmed in the same general area (around Santa Clarita, CA. Although at least 3 different locations/habitats were visited, most of the footage was shot around Bear Divide Ranger Station in the western San Gabriel mountains. You can probably "fly" there in google earth for a virtual visit. Thanks for watching and happy new year! =D

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks so much for the nice comment and view! =D

[jcmegabyte]

Hopefully it provided somewhat of a warm feeling on this winter's day as well! Thanks for watching :-)

[londonpenda]

Beautiful images JC.

Could feel the warmth..

Technician did good again;)

When I watch in HD it judders.

All HD do with me.?

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks, Ray! :-)

When I watch (any video) in HD full screen, I get a little of the judders, too. However, it plays smoothly in the HD player window. Choppy playback is probably due to a lack of CPU/video subsystem horsepower. It could also be that YT java applet player uses an inefficient CODEC. Either way, it's not the original video. If you download the video and play it back in a smaller window, it should be smooth - my originals all are. :-)

[scw1217]

Beautiful butterflies. I enjoyed the video!

[jcmegabyte]

Hopefully more to come next spring - stay tuned and thanks for the view! =D

[megansspark]

awe inspiring and peaceful... thank you for this wonderful offering!

[jcmegabyte]

My pleasure - it was enjoyable to film and produce, too! Thanks for watching :-)

[WileyPossum]

Absolutely WONDERFUL, as always!

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks so much for stopping by to enjoy :-)

[loveyoutodeathbut2]

I feel like I got caught between two dimensions and it's summertime again. Amazing images, gorgeous markings, WOW!

[jcmegabyte]

I though it might be a good time to put something like this online - the contrast with winter seems to make it even more welcomed! I have that strange inter-dimensional feeling too - it's bright and sunny here today after being wet and cloudy yesterday. The only common factor is the cold. Brrrr! :-) I sure wish I could store-up all this cold and then use it in summer when it's 105F outside. Do you usually watch these in HD? I'm fairly disappointed with the &fmt=1 "normal" quality ver. :D

[AmeliaStrega]

che splendide farfalle!!! bellissimo!

Complimenti!

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks so much for stopping by to watch and comment :-)

[GeraldBoyClassical]

That was so nice to see, especially today when I'm facing having to shovel the driveway yet again after a foot of snow fell overnight...

[jcmegabyte]

Wouldn't it be cool if I could also record and playback the warmth, breeze and smells too? That would be quite the experience on a cold snowy day! Hope you're having a great holiday in spite of the snow shovelling :-)

[donchisciotte62]

Amazing collection!!

[tailspin37]

[jcmegabyte]

Glad you enjoyed! :-) Hopefully even more variety next season. Thanks for watching/commenting! =D
