A Hot Hike

We embarked on a magical butterfly trek with the Miami County Parks District this week, and holy smokes, was it a scorcher! Fortunately, the trail offered a few pockets of shade, though I still ended up sweating like a snowman in a sauna. Along the way, we crossed paths with a few monarch butterflies . What an absolutely stunning butterfly!

It was super warm out and I expected to see a few butterflies. On the way back to the car, I told Teresa we should have seen our favorite, the Hackberry Emperor. Almost on queue this Hackberry Emperor showeed up.

Not A Monarch

It was great to see a Viceroy butterfly. This is not a monarch, it is a viceroy. We are still not seeing many butterflies but this was great.
