Duskywing and Horace Who?

This is a Horace's Duskywing. It is a species of skipper butterfly. I don't think I have ever photographed one before.

Not So Common 😬

This was another surprise .. a Common Buckeye. It was a bit warmer so maybe I should not have been so surprised, but it is October. What a beautiful butterfly.

Painted Lady

I love the colors of the Painted Lady butterfly. This one landed about 20 feet in front of us. As we walked closer, she would take off and put more space between her and us, then repeat.

Beauty in Nature: The Vibrant Eyespots of a Common Buckeye Butterfly

I really love the colors of the Common Buckeye butterfly. It seens like most of the ones we are seeing have significant damage to their wings.

Check out those beautiful eyespots. So cool.
