Butterflies migrate too. Here are some of the ones passing through our yard now.
Does anyone know which skipper this is? 2 pix of it.
My favorite butterfly--the zebra longwing
This clouded sulfur is reflecting the green from the surrounding leaves--she was really very bright yellow.

The blue/lavender flowers are all wild native ageratum and the yellow and red ones are lantana.
You still have a lot of butterflies! I haven't seen any lately. I love those zebra longwings. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful Bruce! I've never seen the Zebra Longwing here. :c)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the skipper might be a Whirlabout or a Fiery Skipper? Both of these skippers have dark spots on a lighter background.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures.I especially like the Zebra Longwings,this butterfly is not in our area.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful butterfly photos. Some we have in the Ozarks; many we don't.
ReplyDeleteAt times I've studied pictures of skippers for so long my brain short circuits and I couldn't tell a skipper from a turkey vulture. Sorry, but I'm no help with the ID.
