A Silver-Spotted …

This is a Silver-spotted Skipper. Actually, it is two different skippers, photographed on two different days. They are not the most attractive butterfly, but they are very cool. The pattern in the wings is very unique and really standsout.

A Friendly Butterfly

It was less than a year ago when Teresa photographed a Hackberry Emperor on my arm. He followed me and was my best friend for a while. (you can read that post from last August here: A New Friend).

On a hike this week the tables reveresed. We saw several Hackberry Emperor butterflies near the Stillwater River. Teresa is much sweeter than I am, and this one was all over her arm, legs, and even pants. It was certainly a friendly butterfly.

Welcome Home

We are back in Ohio and went for a hike as soon as we could. We were greated by a number of Viceroy Butterflies. It was so wonderrful to see them. It was the first we have seen this season.

I have addresssed the confusion between the Viceroy and the Monarch in the past so I am not going to go there today. Click here to see that post.

Happy Spring 🤣

What a surprise. Last week on one of our hikes we were shocked to see this Orange Sulphur Butterfly. The weather was mild, but not super warm. This was a total surprise. Happy Spring? I so wish.
