The rest of 'em were among our more common species. I guess this beat up female Black Swallowtail was less common.
If Clouded Skippers were rare, we would get all excited about them. The winter form is pretty sharp looking.
Many of our butterflies have a tropical look to them, but Orange Sulphur looks like something you would see up north.
Even during some pretty cold days this winter you could still find a Red Admiral.
Our two duskywings, Funerial and Mournful, often present ID problems. Today all I saw at the NBC were Funerial Duskywing.
When I got home, the first thing I saw in the garden was a couple of Mournful Duskywings. They are really different.
