Frontera Audubon Thicket, 9/30/13

Frontera Audubon Thicket in Weslaco is looking green and lush after this months rains.  Lots of stuff is blooming and crucita should be in bloom in a couple of weeks.  No fantastic butterflies today.  My best was a worn Brown-banded Skipper which was my first at Frontera.

I saw several other things I have not seen in a while, like this Silver-banded Hairstreak.

And this Dusky-blue Groundstreak.

And this Sickle-winged Skipper.

This Mazan's Scallopwing has a white spot which I guess is just a worn area.

Dorantes Longtail is also something that I don't see every time out.

But I do see Gulf Fritillary every time I go out and I never get tired of them.
