I was getting a little concerned that we had not seen a Monarch butterfly yet this year. I may have seen one in our yard but was not able to get close enough to confirm it was not a viceroy. This was got me all excited. I love Monarch Butterflies.

We are seeing a few more butterflies but less than normal for this time of year. This Pearl Crescent Butterfly was one of a few on this day aa couple weeks ago.

This is a Common Wood Nymph Butterfly. I have seen a couple of them this year but this is the best photo I have been able to capture. Love all the eyes.

it looks like this Red Admiral Butterfly as taken some damage, I love the colors of the Red Admiral but sadly this one has lost a lot of her wings.

It was sure good to see this Viceroy butterfly. I have seen a couple of them this season but this is the first one I was able to photograph in 2025. Now I need to see a Monarch.
