Gold-bordered Hairstreak at NBC, 2/6/13

After spending a couple of hours not seeing too much at the National Butterfly Center south of Mission, I wandered up the trail through the woods.  In the distance I could see Dottie Lamolinara in the garden behind the visitor's center and she was scrutinizing something in the spot where the Gold-bordered Hairstreak Rekoa palegon had been found yesterday.  She waved me over and there it was.  I'd rather be lucky than good!





This fresh Banded Peacock Anartia fatima popped up several times.


I keep checking out the Dusky-blue Groundstreaks Calycopis isobeon, hoping to find something unusual.  This one really has a lot of red.
