Today's Butterflies

Clouded Sulphur

Peck's Skipper

There was lots of clover to choose from, but they just had to share this one!

American Lady


This American Lady was ovipositing (depositing eggs) on this short-leafed plant.  If you look closely, you will see that the butterfly's body is curved toward the plant and not in the usual straight position.

The caterpillars will hatch from the eggs and find themselves born on a suitable food source.
