We haven't had any rain for four weeks but hot southerly wind blew up some new butterflies today here at Progreso Lakes. I saw this Orange-barred Sulphur for only a few seconds.
This Florida White is first I've seen since Spring.
I caught a glimpse of our fourth Ornythion Swallowtail of the summer and latter found it perched in our brush patch out of the wind.
Here's one of two White-striped Longtails.
I wonder if any of our Sickle-winged Skippers are laying eggs on our Colima.
This Common Mellana has been hanging around for about a week and picks a fight with every butterfly it sees.
This is only the third Mexican Bluewing I have seen in our yard. It acted like it was laying eggs on our Vasey's Adelia.
It's been quite a while since we've had a Turk's-Cap White-Skipper.
There's a good chance of rain next wekend but it's gonna be tripple digits till then.
