Silver-spotted Skippers

We finally saw a few Silver-spotted Skippers. They do look like a moth, but they are a butterfly. Maybe they are not late but it sure seems that way to us. Better late than never.

Swallowtail

We saw this Pipevine Swallowtail, also referred to as a blue swallowtail while hiking this past week. What a beautiful swallowtail. I love the colors and it's size.

The Comma

We saw a few of these early in the spring but it has been weeks since we saw an Eastern Comma. Well, they are back. Tomorrow we will be taking a formal 'butterfly walk' with a naturalist. I hope we see more, and maybe a 'question mark' butterfly.

Cool Nymph

This is a Common Wood-nymph. It seems late in the season to see them, but we saw a large number of them while hiking this past week. I think they are a very cool looking butterfly.

Teresa took the 2nd photo .. what a great photo!

A Pearl In The Grass

We have started to see a few Pearl Crescent Butterflies recently. They are small and easy to miss, but they have such beautiful colors. One of natures real beauties.
