This is a Silver-spotted Skipper. No, it’s not a moth; it’s a butterfly.

This is a Red-spotted Purple but it is also called a White Admiral. In the past, these two 'forms' were considered separate species. I have always referred to them as Red-spotted Purple. If you follow the link above, it gets deep into the details and is a good read.

If you don't get out in nature I would get out now. The colors have been amazing. Here is a sample. The Clouded Sulphur brings the yellows.

We saw several Black Swallowtails on the butterfly walk yesterday. This is an organized event and I sure enjoyed it. This Black Swallowtail was enjoying a Nectar feast.

The temperatures have dropped and we are seeing fewer butterflies. We photographed this Monarch Butterfly on a cool morning and didn't expect to see one. It was about 55°F. I hope we see a few more.
