Kickapoo Cavern State Park, 5/17/14

This weekend Honey and I drove up to Kickapoo Cavern State Park north of Bracketville to camp and check out the park.  I was hoping for some new butterflies but not a lot was going on as the continuing drought has everything fried to a crisp.  Very little was in bloom but that doesn't seem to matter to Red Satyrs.

In the afternoon we drove up FM 674 in Edwards County and managed to find a few flowers.  Even though it's common across the entire county, this was my first Dun Skipper.  I surprised to find it such an attractive skipper.

A little patch of frog fruit attracted a Theona Checkerspot.

And an Orange Skipperling.

But other than a few Pipevine Swallowtails, Gulf Fritillaries, Reakirt's Blues, Sleepy Oranges and Lyside Sulphurs, that was it.
