The last hot day before the cold front combined with blooming crucita added up to so many butterflies it was hard to breathe without inhaling one. Of the 69 species I saw in the park, nothing was really rare but there was plenty of uncommon things around. This Texas powdered-Skipper was my first at NBC.
Ginny found a Potrillo Skipper which I think was only my second for the park.
And Mike spotted a Julia Heliconian.
This Malachite dwarfs the Tawnies at the bait log.
Ruddy Daggerwings continue to be more common than usual.
Dark Tropical Buckeye is always a favorite.
It's been a while since I had seen a Long-tailed Skipper. I saw three today.
See how many species of butterflies you can spot.
