This one is a Viceroy. Yes, it is not a monarch. There was a couple of them but this is all I was able to get .. one viceroy on a trash can. 😂

I never get tried of photographing Pearl Crescent butterflies. This time of year they are usually out in large numbers.

This is a Short-tailed blue butterfly. The color is super interesting .. a blue butterfly with those small orange markings. They are very small and easy to miss.

This is another skiipper .. a Smaller Dartlet. I don't believe we have ever seen one of these before. I guess I know for sure I have never photographed one.

This is a Wood-Nymph ... actually the full name is a Common Wood-Nymph. The colors in this photo are just stunning.
