There are still plenty of great uncommon butterflies around despite our earlier cold weather. Can say "no" to Malachites.
A ragged Florida White was popular with the visiting butterfliers from up north.
As were the two Curve-winged Metalmarks.
And the Julia Heliconians.
But I enjoy the common up north bugs that we don't see all the time like American Lady and Questionmark.
This Common Buckeye has a lot of orange on it like a Mangrove Buckeye.
