And a cooperative Coyote Cloudywing.
How about some hairstreaks? Here's a nice Dusky-blue Groundstreak.
And a cute Clytie Ministreak.
And a common Gray Hairstreak.
And his equally common Strymon cogener (is that a word?) Mallow Scrub-Hairstreak.
Over at Frontera Audubon Thicket in Weslaco, Mike Rickard found me another Strymon, this Red-crescent Scrub-Hairstreak.
We found this really neat caterpillar at NBC. Right now I have no clue as to whether it's a butterfly or moth, but I'm starting to lean towards moth. It was 2-2.5 inches long.
Yesterday I ran up to Sal del Rey unit of the Lower Rio Grande NWR to check out the birds. On the walk out I was surprised to find this Potrillo Skipper.
