My first butterfly of the day was this Texas Powdered-Skipper by Willow Lake. I've seen them in this area before.
The azureum is blooming nicely in response to the rains of last fall but it's really dry now and little else has flowers. Several large whites all turned out to be Great Southern White.
First Pale-banded Crescent I've seen in a long time.
A striking Red-bordered Metalmark.
Sickle-winged Skippers like wooded areas.
